IMO both gold and silver are pretty much secure. The battle for the bronze is going to be the interesting one. I went with Canada, because I think there's a chance they can eek it out, but I'm not ruling out Japan.

I think it will be,

Russia for Gold,
Either US or Japan for Silver,
Either US or Japan for Bronze,

Bucking the conventional wisdom here (which should come as no surprise to anyone reading the Qualification for the TE thread in GSD, lol) -

Gold - USA
Silver - Russia
Bronze - Japan

Someone thinks the US isn't going to medal?

Someone thinks the US isn't going to medal?

Possibly the same person(s) who thought that Ukraine and the Czech Republic would.

Don't forget Georgia - but I think that person was just being contrarian - there was another poster who thought the podium would be Russia, Japan, and Canada.
