Mongolia 3rd in Olympic medal count
That's an unexpected number. So what About the US, China, UK? Well they do really well, but if you translate the number of medals to the population of the country, they are nowhere to be seen in the top 10. That is the conclusion that the La Times draws. Their Top 10 of medals per capita is as follows:
1. Armenia (4) - 742,147No over billion Chinese that can change a thing about that. Reminds that India must be at the very bottom of this list. They might be very proud on their gold, but one medal on a billion is ultimately not al that impressive
2. Australia (16) - 1,287,554
3. Mongolia (2) - 1,498,041
4. Georgia (3) - 1,543,614
5. Switzerland (4) - 1,895,380
6. Cuba (6) - 1,903,992
7. Slovenia (1) - 2,007,711
8. Azerbaijan (4) - 2,044,429
9. The Netherlands (7) - 2,377,902
10. Hungary (4) - 2,482,729

Nice info! Thank you and La Times.
When our sportsman took the gold, i told about it to my colleague/Chinese girl/.
Bumbuulei: hey! we have taken our the first gold in our history.
She: hehehe. We have already taken 22 golds like my age.
Then she saw somebody and went. I dont have time to explain. If she read this article, unfortunately, she can't... stupid chinese girl doesn't know English.
PS: your blog is very cool!
Are we at the top of the list with the 2 medals secured by the boxers? ;-)
