Global Dominance: Olympic Winnings vs GDP
- poundy 14y agoThese facts stand out about the Olympics: - Phelps has won more Olympic medals in his career than India in all Olympics - Jamaica won 2 medals at women's 100m a few minutes go. Bolt still has to go. Why Jamaica? - The United States has heavily relied on its dominance in swimming, racking up 23 of its 37 medals in the pool. - Kazakhstan has 5 medals, all gold! Four in weightlifting. Population is barely 16 million Will be interested to find more
