And the Olympic Medals Per Capita winner is ...

The Bahamas. Again. One medal for every 153,725 Bahamians. They were followed by Jamaica, Iceland, Slovenia, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Cuba, Armenia and Belarus. Of the 87 nations that won medals, China ranked No. 68. The United States was No. 46. India brought up the rear. This is all good info to have the next time you tire of your friends arguing over who really "won" the Olympics. [Source]

I'll have to write this down for the introduction classes for the new term. Maybe it'll make the class more lively.

I am the one tired of "who really won", but still wonder "who really pollute" on per capita basis.
