Olympic Medal Count
The Olympic medal winners are athletes who are superior to their
probable competitors. They bear greater physical skills. The Olympic
Medal has been created and developed as a single object; therefore, the
ribbon is not sewn at the top of the Medal. Instead the ribbon is
knotted to the ring around at the top of the Medal, to make an unusual
and intimately a unique whole. The Olympic medal tally is probably the
most frequently declared list of any description where the countries of
the world are given a rank order. There are now studies that attempt to
calculate the worth of winning an Olympic gold medal, and the average
amount of government funding required to win one.
Australia and Germany, which finished fourth and fifth, respectively,
in the 2000 medal race, both saw their total medals fall, but not by as
much as PwC expected. Australia won 25 gold medals and 115 medals in
those five Games, which equates to $37 million per gold medal and $8
million per medal.
India, for example, a country that boasts almost a fifth of the world?s
population, won a sleazy 0.12 per cent of the medals in Athens: one out
of 826. Africa, a continent supremely rich in sporting talent, won 4
per cent.
East Germany, despite a small population, won an enormous medal haul at
just five Olympics - 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1988 - thanks to the most
corrupt, steroid-saturated sports program in the world. This also
collapsed when the political system it was meant to eulogize collapsed.
