Medal Count for Australia
Just quickly browsing the medal count - and this was quick and dirty- it seems pretty clear that based on per capita analysis, Oz has kicked butt in the Olympics. China has 1.3 BILLION people, and the US 300 million, and Oz 20 million. Looking at the number of medals - total or by the gold-silver-bronze breakdown based on the population, pound for pound...ah, sorry, kilo for kilo, you folks have really excelled.
I think we'll look into this whole Vegemite thing, now....[ack]...might be something to it...
Thanks, also for preventing the Chinese from sweeping the diving events!
Congrats, friends!
