Image via WikipediaOnly one day to go until the opening the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing (or 8 hours and 57 minutes to be exact). And despite pre-games injuries, US athletes causing offense and activists launching pre-game protests, I am incredibly excited to see the games kick off.

No matter what happens in the Olympics they are guaranteed to produce drama. Drama always produces great news stories and event better markets. That is why I am excited to announce the new Hubdub Olympic Prediction Center. In the Prediction Center we have pulled together over 250 Olympic markets for you to trade predictions on.

It is tough to pull out one market in particular but I am going to go with a contentious choice and predict that China is going to top the US in the medal tally (cue more hand wringing books on how the US has lost its competitive edge).

Which country will win the most gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics?
