Finland’s chances in the Summer Olympics

Back in 2008, during the Summer Olympics in Beijing, Finland got a total of 4 medals. They got one gold medal, one silver medal and two bronze medals. In London in 2012 Finland only got three medals, but none of these were gold medals. The question is whether Finland can climb up again to the top of the podium and win at least one gold medal?

I for sure hope so, and the Finnish people will cheer for it as they watch the event on YLE.
