How many medals do you think Spain will win in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games? (International responses allowed. No country in hitting, please)

Well, we just have a favorite a gold medal with an epic fail in snowboard cross, so I'm not too optimistic at this time. I think we'll end up with about 22, a little behind what we did in Torino. Edit: Okay, I feel much better about women's Snowboard Cross now! Hopefully for 25 medals.
