It’s funner just to do them, because they are the top four countries in medals.

BTW What the heck happened to Germany?

All their studs stayed home making machine tools, high end cars, and pharmaceuticals, LOL.

I suppose Germany could be doing a bit better, there have been some disappointments but also some nice surprises. Germany is currently #6 in Olympic gold medals, ahead of France and Italy.

If we take the USA population and current gold medal count as a benchmark:

USA has 3.84 times more population than Germany and 3.9 times more gold medals, which is on par.

Let's compare that to Germany's neighbor, Poland (who are currently way down at #28 on the medals list, behind Cuba and North Korea):

USA has 8.16 times more population than Poland and 19.5 times more gold medals, LOL!

Germans I know, are enjoying what has been achieved thus far. I hope someday Poland becomes a sporting nation because there should be some good potential there.

(sorry about the LOL. It’s not polite to openly laugh about such a thing.)
