Here's the medal table from 2008. As you can see, 12 of our medals were in the track cycling; which only starts today, IIRC.
So as a host nation we should exceed 47 medals & place 4th or higher. IMO & that is my opinion I predict 27 medals of which only 4 will be gold & we'll place no higher than (I'm changing my earlier prediction cause I can after looking back at the old tables) 12th.
4th in 2008 with 47 medals
10th in 2004 with 30 medals
10th in 2000 with 28 medals
36th in 1996 with 15 medals
13th in 1992 with 20 medals
12th in 1998 with 24 medals
