[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else think the Kiwis were the true winners? A country of 5 million people with 20 medals including 10 gold! Outstanding!!![/quote] The kiwis do for sure. Why does a country of five million get to send a team of almost 200? Why are they eligible for two spots in each swimming event - the same as the US (pop c. 350m) and China (pop 1.4 billion)? If they got the same per capita team size as the US, they'd be able to send one rowing eight but not the coxswain.[/quote] Who would bother watching an Olympics where the six most populated countries accounted for half the athletes? In reality, the biggest countries have an advantage anyway as they can draw on a much bigger pool of potential athletes. Of course it’s more complicated than that as wealth and resources count for a lot. [/quote]
