With the Olympics about to start, the French are getting ready to support their prized athletes, hoping that many of them will get that spot at the top of the podium and stand proud with La Marseillaise playing at full pelt. The French Olympic team will have a great opportunity to win multiple medals in cycling, canoing, kayaking, and judo events. The odds that France will finish in the top 5 in the medal count are very slim, but many are predicting for them to win about 10-15 gold, silver, and bronze medals and have a total medal count of around 35-40. A medal count in this range would put them at near 6th or 7th place on the medal table.
