>India

Seriously what the fuck?
>>
Why is India so bad? You'd think that with 1 billion people they'd have more than twenty-six (26) medals

>counting winter "olympics"

[insert joke about "facilities" here]

Atleast India has medals, unlike Bangladesh.

>>63804645
If Swimming can have 30 different competitions, then at least Curling should get one competition, no?
>>
>>63804670
Well Bengals are Indian people, just a different religion. The question is what's wrong with them?

>Implying anything other than total medals matters

Stay butthurt, little countries

>>63804546
>per capita
Is there more of a pathetic "argument" for doing badly in the Olympics?

How does it not make more sense to do it by number of athletes sent to represent you?
>>
>>63804546
>Bermuda has one medal
>this ranks them better than the United States, with over 2000, because "per capita"

?

Idiotic ranking.

In the 60s the population of Brazil was 70 million. The medals gained in that time are divided by current population of 200 million. Meanwhile European population has more or less stagnated since WW2.

I don't even want to enter the merit of Brazil, which is a shitty Olympic nation, it's just an example of why the ranking is pointless.

Jamaicans have great genetics.

Maybe you need to invent an Olympic "World Series" where the USA competes between itself and itself and you'd get 100% of the medals and your pride back, my fat American friend...?

80's heavily doping fucked up everything though, East Germany shouldn't even be ranked

sensible post.

Hopefully we can top Tonga's one medal to overtake 7th place one day

Swimming is a complete joke as far as medals go.

Imagine if track and field had:

100m sprint
150m sprint
200m sprint
100m sprint running backward
150m sprint running backward
200m sprint running backward
100m sprint sidestepping
150m sprint sidestepping
200m sprint sidestepping
100m sprint any running technique OK
150m sprint any running technique OK
200m sprint any running technique OK

Ridiculous af.

Remember Ben Johnson? All those guys but one were doped to the gills. He just took the shit for it. Fucking Carl Lewis was the worst and has he surrendered his medals yet?

How would Jessie Owens do in today's Olympics?

absolutely moronic, pointless map.

what is the relevance of dividing 120 years of olympic medals into the current population?

if they did it olympics-by-olympics, and took some sort of average i could see some sort of representative value, but this information is literally meaningless

what is wrong with the winter Olympics

its for frozen shitholes like us since we can't practice summer sports for 1/2 the year
>>
>>63805899
Bullshit everybody can play Summer Olympics. Meanwhile there are like 10 countries that compete in the Winter Olympics. Winter Olympic medals should count as one tenth of summer medals in totaling.

how is a country that is covered in snow half the year supposed to compete in the summer olympics alongside countries that are warm all year round. There is obviously going to be a disparity in medals there, same with warm countries competing in the winter Olympics. It balances out m8

> A guy running for -10 seconds is as valuable as a boxer who fight and get mutilated against at least 6 top athletes in the world

analyzing Olympics as a whole is the only mistake here.

ITT: Canadians confirmed as being better at athletics than Americans.

Something I knew all along la, it's nice to see hard data confirming it

>>63806074
Summer olympics has 10 times the events as winter olympics already.
