Medal predictions?published at 23:47 British Summer Time 5 August 2016
So, how many shiny medals will British athletes bring home in a little over two weeks?
Well, the bosses at Team GB Towers have set a target of at least 48.
But sports statistics company Infostrada have predicted GB will pick up 51 - 18 gold, 16 silver and 17 bronze.
That puts Britain third on their hypothetical medal table, with the USA top on 88 (38 gold, 23 silver, 27 bronze) and China second on 71 (29, 36, 16).
Below Britain are Germany in fourth (51 medals) and Australia in fifth (41 medals).
