Riverwind Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Fair enough...but it doesn't explain why smaller populations have far more medals (e.g. Australia).It is not too hard to figure out. Countries like Australia spend a lot more on their olympic program than Canada. Probably because a lot of Canadians are like me and think the number of medals won at the corrupt games is irrelevant.

The Aussie culture is built around the sea, the same as ours is built around the snow. If we don't do the same in 2010 as the Aussies have done here, then I wil be disappointed, but I am a big fan of the Aussie athletes. Quote ...
