[livejournal.com profile] dubaiwalla discovers an interesting website that divides recent Summer Olmypic medal counts by population and GDP. The USA might have won the most (gold) medals in Athens (2004), but The Bahamas, with a population of only 300'000, was the most successful in terms of medals per capita and Georgia, the most successful in terms of gold/gdp.

Nice link... Romania is there as well... nr 13 per population and nr 9 per GDP (not the best ranking, this means we have low GDP :P)

India is there as well... where did India win a silver in Athens?
