Did the LA article that Huggies referred to talk about gold medals ( no it
didn't
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/olympics_blog/2008/08/slovenia-hammer.html )
and Boyd said medals. Oh well the digs by Boyd and Huggies seem to have
backfired.
But whatever in this case the winner are gold/population Jamaica and
medals/population the Bahamas

Not me, far too clever for me.
Medals per capita is stupid. Sure money helps in some sports, but not as
much as {and I risk sounding like Woodward here} desire, hard work and
an unflinching certainty that you are the best. A good coach helps. Then
you have daylight, then money, skin suits et al.....

While you agree that medals per capita is silly in many ways, you
couldn't resist the tried and true Aussie tradition of shamelessly
big-noting yourself at the slightest opportunity.
How about a money and drugs per capita table? I assume Australia would
be somewhere near the bottom of that, along with China, Russia and
Britain. Funny that...

Ashley, what's funny *ick***d is that you can't even get a simple table

btw tosser, NZ's 3 golds cost approx $NZ25m each.

Oh, shit-for-brains, did you realise that the cost of Australian golds
may be up to $A100m apiece?

Given the exchange rate, I'd say that's in the order of 5 times per

But NZ are ahead of Australia in the medal table. A gold for every

And that was one of the reasons for posting it.
When I posted the link to the LA Times, NZ, despite what Chuckwit
believes I was claiming, were not in the lead.
I think Slovenia were.
I don't believe NZ were ever in the lead.
Chukky didn't actually follow the link and assumed I was skiting NZ
(who I think were 3rd at the time), given that he was belittling the
NZ Olympic effort.
I simply posted to link to refute the oft repeated lie that Australia
was in the lead of the mythical 'medals per capita' table. The one
ERNEST THE AUSTRALIAN and sundry others kept referring to.
Incidentally, Australia is not the best performed 'per capita' nation
overall anyway. Teams like Hungary and Finland are well ahead on this
measure, and always have been

I posted because Australia were not leading the table, contrary to
what you and sundry others had claimed.
Speaking of posting too early, you were the one skiting about
Australia having won more medals than GB when GB went ahead in the
Golds won table.
How come you stopped referring to that table once Australia went
behind?

“But the moment Ohuruogu came around the final bend the only thing to
be seen was the Olympic spirit of courage and determination as she
became the first British woman to triumph in athletics' most punishing
sprint.”
Eh??
“As the fans cheered and Ohuruogu smiled a golden smile the thought
persisted that would have been a dreadful price to pay for three
forgetful moments”
Eh??????????????????????????
