Meddling with the medals
August 26th, 2004Ha ha! The Australian Bureau of Statistics produce a per-capita Olympic medal table (via MeFi), and they still only come second.
A series of similar tables, taking into account other factors like GDP as well is illuminating reading, India are pretty much bottom of most of them, while the Bahamas, Cuba and Estonia all do quite well, and the US is nowhere to be seen. The one factoring in team size is illuminating. The UAE got a gold medal with just four team members - how good is that?
