Analysis:  USA Tennis is a steal at #7 overall.  It would not be at all surprising to see the USA take four of the five 20-point gold medals and a few lesser medals as well.  Russian weightlifting was a weak pick in round 5 and one that the Thorpes' manager certainly regrets.  This team should be at least decent, but to win it will need the Team USA women to come through with the 50 point football gold medal.
