Part One: Betting on the Olympics! Who will win?

Carlyn and I decided that in the spirit of the Olympics we would compete in our own intercontinental competition of sorts by partaking in a bit of friendly wagering.  Unfortunately, seeing as I am poor I can not take lots of that colourful Australian money off Carlyn's hands and instead she will have to send me a song she is fond of for each point I win from her.  Sure there is a minor chance that I will owe her a song or two, but I may ask the Men's gymnastics judges for a review of those results.  Here's how it works.  We each picked a number of events in various sports.  Each of us must pick the first, second and third place finisher.  IF any Australian or American are involved in the events we have chosen to bet on, then Carlyn as an Australian is obliged to pick an Australian to finish somewhere in the top three and I as an American am obliged to pick an American somewhere in the top three.  For each person or country (during team competitions) that we pick in the proper finish we earn one point.  If we both pick the same person in the same place or the same country in the same place then that pick will cancel and no points will be awarded win or lose. We will also pick the top three overall medal finishers (top 3 countries) at some point soon.  We will earn 3 points if we pick the Gold team right 2 for the Silver and 1 for the Bronze.  Once all our points are tallied we will owe eachother songs for each point we have earned.   Hopefully I explained that right without too much confusion.  >.<  May the best Bear... ummmm... or Girl win!

Here follows the bets we have been able to find enough info on to date to each make our picks on.  We are posting them as evidence in case one or the other of us wish to dispute something.  Please do not use our choices in any decision to gamble you may be making as we really have little clue what the heckyl jeckyl we're doing.  Of course that conclusion may become obvious too if anyone reviews our choices.
