Last August, Gracenote picked China for 72 medals overall. A data provider is predicting New Zealand's best ever medal haul at the Rio Olympics. United States-based Gracenote - a sports and entertainment data provider - estimates New Zealand will win 22 medals overall. Australia is picked to finish fourth in the overall medal table with 41, and also fourth in the gold-medal count with 18. Gracenote's monthly forecast predicted Chinese women to win almost 58 percent of their country's medals, and American women to win 57 percent of U.S. medals.
