Having looked at the total gold medals / all medals won per national population I must say Australia do remarkably well, (no great suprise to me!
www.belowtopsecret.com... ) with only Slovakia performing slightly better.
Slovakia 1 gold medal per 1,800,758 (3 gold medals)
Australia 1 gold medal per 1,944,937 (11 gold medals)
Next come;
Denmark 1 gold medal per 2.744,511 (2 gold medals)
Czech Republic 1 gold medal per 5,201,568 (2 gold medals)
Romania 1 gold medal per 5,359,500 (4 gold medals)
Netherlands 1 gold medal per 5,481,667 (3 gold medals)
UK 1 gold medal per 5,507,936 (11 gold medals)
For comparison;
China 1 gold medal per 37,873,743 (35 gold medals)
USA 1 gold medal per 16,046,947 (19 gold medals)
These were based on medals won up to and including Sunday.
All pretty boring and anal really but I'm afraid I haven't got anything better to do today, bored rigid!
