Comment on Our US friends see the Olympic Medal table differently
dgriffith@aussie.zone 1 month agoI wonder how medal tally per capita would work out. Surely Australia would be up there. 🤔

That would be a really interesting metric.
America get one medal per every 9,008,108people
Australia gets one medal per 1,444,444 people
China is one medal per 58,833,333 people
So Australia is doing pretty well. I can’t be bothered doing it for any more countries right now though

I played with something like “medals per capita” once during the London Olympics. When you put them into that metric, Australia definitely punches above its weight, but I think New Zealand did even better.

So that’s objectively a worse measure then. We need a measure where were the best. Not NZ, not UK and not China or USA.
How about medals divided by average population density inversed, lol.
