I love my India … in the Olympics

Heh, so those Aussies from 'down under' are keeping track of each country's Olympic medals as aratio of medals/population.

This could also be, how many citizens of your country does it take to win a medal...

Some highlights:

  1. Bahamas - 317,000 Bahamians

...
29. United States 4,125,000 United Americans

...
67.India...is last - it takesall 1,080,921,000 Indians :-P (That's just super)

Sigh, if onlycricket were an olympic sport :-P

Lastly, it may be worth noting that ifStanford were a country, we'd be at the top of this list by far...currently it only takes 1,666 Stanford students/faculty to earn an olympic medal...that's about the size of a freshman class!
