(ATR) With 500 days to go before the Games, Infostrada Sports is taking its first look at the Rio Olympics.
Simon Gleave of Infostrada Sports joins us to break down the first release of their Virtual Medal Table for Rio 2016. As things stand, the United States is projected to take the most medals at next year's Summer Olympics, followed by China, Russia and France.
Gleave discusses how the statistical models account for Brazil hosting the Games, how Great Britain might be helped by hosting the 2012 Games, and what the process was like of projecting Olympic golf for the first time.
For background on the Infostrada Sports process, check out Simon's previous ATRadio appearance where he discussed their projections for last year's FIFA World Cup.
