Eruedan Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yeah i've seen these lists before with the countries in a different order. Maybe that was gold medals per million though... Love the photo btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron, click Ctrl+A actually, it doesn't work like that on a Mac and what I meant was this was the least interesting bit of news for me so far -- and won't make the extra effort to squint at it if it's not presented properly and the author comes up with some glib, wise-ass crack.

I would change my font but I don’t know if you are just going blind or seeking attention. It’s so hard to tell with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Monk Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Having a list of all time medals per capita is a bit misleading. Populations change over time, meaning that some countries could be misrepresented. It would be better if the information was an average of the medals per capita for each individual game.

Guardian Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Having a list of all time medals per capita is a bit misleading. Populations change over time, meaning that some countries could be misrepresented. It would be better if the information was an average of the medals per capita for each individual game. I think so, too. Besides, with Finland on the top of this list, it is not surprising considering on which Olympiads that Finnish athletes really kicked up a storm in the past.

Alan in Montréal Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 This list is interesting. Shows which countries have more emphasis on athleticism. No it doesn't. Canada is ahead of the US, and we spend far less on our athletes than the US does. And in the end, who cares!. Does this make any one nation better than another nation with a lesser count? It also doesn't take reality into play. Canada is a northern nation, for example, so we will always have a fair amount of athletes at the Winter Games, but another country with a more moderate climate, like any African nation for example, won't have the same opportunity. Frankly, the list is "neat" but useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
