Most Gold Medal Haul - Interesting to find out who will be getting the most.
In the year 2008, China got the most gold medal haul, second position and third position went to USA and Russia, respectively. Great Britain was third with Germany and Australia coming in fourth and fifth respectively. It will definitely be very interesting to see who is going to get the most medal haul in the year 2012. If China wins again, it shows that she can go beyond home ground advantage.
