Meet the real Olympic leaders (Bronze Medal)

What would be more meaningful, it seems to me, is the number of medals a country wins compared to their population.

And so allow me to direct you to medalspercapita.com, where you will find just such a ranking.

Number one on the list: New Zealand, which has earned seven medals despite having a total population of just 4.4-million (that’s the size of one of China’s smaller cities). Put another way, New Zealand’s “population per medal” is just 633,231 (which is to say, one out of every 633,231 New Zealanders has won a medal at the 2012 Olympics).
