I would say 100 bronze medals is a greater achievement than 10 golds.

Being 3rd best in the world is pretty damn good, even in horse jumping or whatever.

Wrong, actually.

If you look at women's individual saber, you will see that Americans got 3 fencers in, the French got 3, and the Italians only had one fencer. The Americans won all 3 medals.
For many sports, you have to reach a certain level of skill before you can qualify to enter the Olympics. A larger total population means a larger chance that you will have people good at those sports.

On top of that, with a diverse population of over 1 billion people, all with differing interests, you are likely to find good sportsmen in just about every sport you look at.

Lets say, you had a country with a population of 1,000,000. 90% of them live fairly average lives. About 10% are privileged enough to spend enough time practicing a sport to get good at it. That is 100,000 people. Now, lets say that only 5% of them are truly talented, so you get 5,000. Of those talented people, maybe 10% have the privilege of the best coaches/teachers. That is 500. Furthermore, most of the best athletes started training from a very young age. Of these 500 people, only 250 people have the money and dedication to do that. 10% of them are Olympic quality athletes. You have 25 people left. 50% of them will be bronze level athletes at best (12.5), 25% will be silver level at best (6.25), and 10% will be gold level at best (2.5). 0.1% have the ability to compete with Michael Phelps (0.025). Smaller countries are therefore put at a disadvantage when it comes to selecting Olympiads, since they have a smaller pool of athletes to choose from.
(Disclaimer: statistics were made up, but if you can figure out the real percentages, you can have a good estimate of how well a country should do, not accounting the "historical pastime" bonus that countries like Italy and France get for fencing.)

A lot of countries pay athletes just to compete, or give them free perks like houses, college, and other shit.

Other countries, like Canada and various European and middle-eastern shitholes pay extra if a medal is won.

Other countries take their best exports and play on race or blind patriotism to get them to play for them, which is how fucking Yao Ming ended up snubbing the US for making him rich and free to play for China, or how Manu Ginobili ended up back in Argentina. Oh well. when they get back to the US to make that American $$$ they don't deserve, they'll have to come knowing they'll have to suck the American NBA player's cocks and gold medals first.

Yet other countries take our rejects who failed to qualify for the US team. This morning there was a story on an American baseball reject playing for the Russians. She admitted doing it out of resentment but claims she's not a traitor, which seems contradictory.

>> Anonymous

The US doesn't allow it, but other countries do. Immigrants simply refuse to give up their citizenship when becoming a US citizen, or give it up first, become US citizen, then get their old citizenship from their home countries back after they're US citizens. Believe me I live in South Texas and see the fucking Mexicans do it all the time.

and she's still an American. She had never been to Russia until the try-outs and actually plans to come back afterwards.

Taking population into account is the stupidest shit imaginable. Bigger countries aren't given more opportunities to win medals in events, they don't get do-overs according to population. Everyone has the same chance to win, if you're going to take any number into account, number of participating athletes would be more reasonable, but still a stupid thing to do.

So in your opinion a country with 1000 people in it has the same chance and a country with a billion?

Taking the highest 500 performers from a larger population will give you a better 500...
