These figures are taken from the report, The Olympics and Economics 2012. In it, Goldman Sachs has used economic models to calculate how the medals should be distributed to different nations.

The conclusion is that countries with good growth prospects and high incomes will win more medals than countries with poor growth and low incomes.

Of the ten nations that are considered to win the most medals, for example half the so-called G-7 countries are classed. Best of all expected to win will be the U.S. - the world's largest economy - whose athletes should be taking home a total of 108 medals. This will be followed by the BRIC countries, China and Russia. In fourth place will be the UK with a total of 65 medals, 18 more than at the Beijing Olympics.

The British boom is not unexpected, according to Goldman Sachs, who writes that the home advantage always ensures medal rain.
