    He was set up by the Brits l’m sure. He’s an innocent man who was just offering his services of line marking to the groundsman of the hockey field, who had fallen ill. No relation to Mr D. Warner or alike…..

    Australia tops tally of Olympic medals per capita
    By Josh Hohne - 2 days ago


    Australia has cemented itself as the best Olympic country per capita out of the top 10 places on the current medal tally.

    At the time of writing, Australia has won more than one medal per million people, and is the only country in the top 10 places to do so.

    Australia's 1.22 medals per million people leaves almost every other country in the dust.



    Australia also has the highest number of gold medals per million people, bringing in 0.48 gold medals per million Australians.

    Second place for medals per capita goes to the Netherlands, which so far has won 0.94 medals per million people.

    It was a good effort, with seven gold to Australia's 13, but Australia nearly doubled their total medals with just 10 million more people.


    Rounding out the podium in third place is the host nation France, which earned one gold medal for every five million citizens.

    They've scored more total medals than Australia, but having more than double Australia's population, it brought their medals per capita score down.

    The sporting powerhouse, the US, might sit on top of the medal tally, but on a per capita basis they slip to a paltry seventh place.

    That gives them just over one medal per five million people.

    Meanwhile, China ranked last, earning about one medal per 27 million people.

    The incredible athletes of China have won 21 gold medals and 53 medals in total, but their country's staggering population of 1.42 billion people brings them down in this ranking - sorry China!

    For China to beat Australia's score of medals per capita, they would need to win almost 1375 more medals, more than are available at a given Olympic Games.

    For our Kiwi friends, don't think we've forgotten about you.

    This list only took in the top ten places on the medal tally, with New Zealand currently sitting in 12th place.

    If New Zealand had been included, they would have pipped Australia with 1.8 medals per million people.


    The Kiwis have so far won three gold medals for their 5.2 million citizens.

    So Lyles runs the 200m knowing he has COVID, finishes third and gives one of his US team mates (who still has relays races to run) a big hug after the race before being taken away in a wheelchair.

    Bizarre.

    No one cares about swimming. They’re just making up events now. Mixed relay 47m freestyle fly. Oh it’s a tenth gold for Wazza Jones, surely the best mixed relay 47m swimmer ever in this event we made up last week. Grow up.

    Obviously, you’re having a moment.

    I was just posting an update on the whole Olympics, as l’ve done all the way thru.
    Don't think it’s me who needs to grow up.
