[eh] Even New Zealand almost has as many Olympic medals as Canada

[iNSaNiTy]

What gives eh?

 

[DiLLuSioN]

blame canada

 

[ShartShooter]

MAYBE THE DINGO ATE YO BABY

 

[trop]

canada = 7 medals
usa = 65

usa has 10x the population of canada, therefore canada > usa in summer olympics

in winter olympicc
canada = 24
usa = 25

therefore canada owns the shit out of the usa when it comes to the olympics

That'd be Australia, they'd be in the 'plenty more medals' category

So say, with Canada's population being almost 8x that of New Zealand, does that make NZ > than USA and Canada?

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[trop]

also compound the fact that in the USA there are places where summer sports can be played year round yet in canada we are limited to indoors 6 months of the year. Also add in the funding that US athletes get... it's just sad that we're beating you in medalsopulation ratio.

What's the story with them being able to compete as Great Britain?

 

[adrian ng]

The term 'Great Britain' is often used to mean the United Kingdom as a whole, and was the name assigned to the United Kingdom team by the International Olympic Committee for the 1908 Summer Olympics along with the IOC country code GBR.

Under the terms of a long-standing settlement between the British Olympic Association and the Olympic Council of (the Republic of) Ireland, athletes from Northern Ireland can elect to represent the neighbouring Republic of Ireland team instead of the Great Britain team.

New Zealand has the same population as Kentucky (although probably twice the number of teeth)

That's pretty funny

Aren't you counting medals won by females here?
Yep, you are.

 

[Clever]

Canada gives atheletes less money then people on welfare. The funding for sports/coaching is such shit that it is no wonder we aren't racking up the medals.

You can't compare countries w/ such different levels of spending.
