SI Medal Projections

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver kick off on Friday. Now, I'm no expert on all the sports, contrary to popular belief, but Sports Illustrated has taken the liberty of predicting who they think will win a medal in each event, so I'll be echoing their statements. Here's how they say the medal table will look. It will be listed as country: gold-silver-bronze (total). Tiebreakers are decided by the most golds, followed by the most silvers. So who will be the top country in Vancouver according to SI? Let's take a look.
