The argument became moot when Australia became a major player in the Summer Olympics despite their relative population.

EDIT: In Michael Phelpsia, the Gold medals per capita is 6!

Yeah Australia's third in overall medal count at the moment. Pretty amazing considering that second place, China has more than 65 times the population...
But if you do go by capita, Australia has 1 medal for every 1 million citizens :)

I just hate the way they rank the countries as is >_>
One country could have 8 gold, 0 silver and 0 bronze, while the country ranked one place below it could have 7 gold, 1000 silver and 10 000 000 bronze >_>

The Aussies always start out strong the first week, since it's heavy on swimming. (The one event they really compete at a high level in at the summer games.) Don;t be surprised if they tail off once the second track-heavy week begins and the swimming finishes up.

 



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
