Revised for latest medal table -
Golds per million of population:-
Dominica 13.69 St Lucia 5.55 Brunei 2.20 Ireland 0.79 Australia 0.68 New Zealand 0.57 Netherlands 0.51 Croatia 0.50 Slovenia 0.47 Chinese Taipei 0.36 Jamaica 0.35 Hungary 0.30 Sweden 0.28 Serbia 0.28 Georgia 0.27 Hong Kong 0.27 Korea 0.23 France 0.20 Azerbaijan 0.19 Norway 0.18 Cuba 0.18 GBR 0.18
We have dropped from 20th to 22nd, Jamaica and Cuba have gone above us
USA up from 0.07 to 0.08
China stay at 0.02
Japan move from 0.09 to 0.10
In terms of 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze we drop from 22nd to 23rd as below:- (Armenia have gone above us)
Dominica 41.07 St Lucia 27.74 Grenada 7.92 Brunei 6.60 New Zealand 4.21 Jamaica 3.54 Australia 3.37 Ireland 2.97 Croatia 2.74 Chinese Taipei 2.53 Netherlands 2.44 Georgia 2.15 Fiji 2.14 Kosovo 1.89 Armenia 1.80 Hungary 1.67 Cape Verde 1.67 Sweden 1.60 Cyprus 1.59 Lithuania 1.47 France 1.45 Slovenia 1.42 GBR 1.33
Of the countries who have won medals, India are still last (biggest population in the world, currently no golds or silvers).
Of the countries with no medals but populations over 30 million, there are now 17 - Morocco have now won a medal and Thailand should not have been on this list - spelling error on spreadsheet before (oops).
I really need to get a proper hobby

I’ll take that Eccles. The real hero of these Olympics has been MCFC1993, his summaries are amazing. If I was doing my job properly I would be putting factors into my spreadsheet for social/economic/political factors such as gdp per head of population, adjusting population for GBR and N Ireland including medal winners competing for Ireland - but even I am not that much of a spreadsheet wankerI’ll give that post 100 likes. Is that ok?
@MCFC1993 has got the Gold medal so you can have the Silver medal. Ok? :-)
Yes the BBC has always been my go to for most things sporting especially the Commonwealth and the Olympics and the Worlds but seriously poor this year.The BBCs coverage of the Olympics this year has been shite, seems to be more time in the studio listening to Claire Balding waffling on than actually showing sports when there’s plenty of sports happening they could show.
Rag.
When will KJT get injured?
The last 4 Olympic Games Golds -
2008 19
2012 29
2016 27
2020 22
With 12 at the moment that trend is very much looking downwards (2012 influenced by being at home)
That’s the thing with the Olympics it’s very fine margins to win, so a close silver is still a silver (not having a pop)Quite the drop off that. With the fine margins, and some of those tight finishes going our way we should be on 16 now, and looking at 20 overall again which is a great achievement. Sadly we'll be a fair few off that.
