Is your country good at sport overall?
>5 world cups>8 F1 titlesyea, we're pretty good at important ones.
>>152966220vira lata cope
Now do per capita
>>152966239
why does cuba mog the rest of latin america so hard? is that a relic of cold war doping, or do they just dominate specific sports?
>>152966474Boxing and a bit of athletics.
>>152966474they did the least racemixing
>>152966474theyre spanish. no indio blood (indio = WEAK)
>>152966166Historicall? Yes, quiteBut the present isn't looking too wellI hope we can improve again. There needs to be something done. Considering our membership numbers, we should be much better at sports like handball, athletics, swimming. Even footballI don't really get the medal count for Germany, we're at 298+123 = 421 without the GDR, which reasonably puts us ahead of everyone else considering >we were banned because of war shenangians a few times and also the 80s boycott. The US seems to be at 1105 summer golds, but that discrepancy isn't quite as large
>>152966822*everyone else except the US, of course
are the swiss and norwegians good at the same winter sports
>>152966866Not really. Alpine skiing for example is more of a Swiss thing. Ski jumping, biathlon and nordic combined are more Norwegian
>changing flags and replying to your own postsThat's sad, Abdi.Anyway, here's the most decorated olympic Cuban athlete: Mijaín 'the aryan übermensch' López. 100% caucasian blood.
>>152966474Boxing in its 50000 classes Wrestling in its 50000 classesAthleticsJudo in its 10000 classesMore or less in that order, then add a few medals for Taekwondo
Three times olympic medalist Félix 'the white menace' Savón. You can trace his bloodline back to Ragnar Lothbrok himself.
Three times olympic medalist and white supremacist Teófilo Stevenson pictured moments before he mutilated a poor Congolese kid.
kek they're so mad they racemixed while cubans didnt
this is nuts
Has anyone tried to create a normalised medal table, where each medals value is divided by the number of medals available in that sport, to see who comes out on top when you can't stat pad with swimming/cycling etc.
>>152966166Australia is fraudulent. Nearly half of all medals have come from swimming
It's hard to find any stats for just golds, but >we are close to or at the top of the per capital olympic medals, only beaten by fluke micro-nations, so yeah we are pretty good.
Now do per capita to filter population frauds like China/US.
Snow """sports""" are not sports>>152971992Fraudulent medals
per capita we mog the us, probably
>>152972142>>152972206countries are capped at 3 athletes per gender and discipline, which makes the per capita argument kind of irrelevant
>>152966166what country is above spain?
>>152970647Yeah thats how it should be. A country that is only good at swimming shouldn't be ranked the same as a country thats good at a dozen entirely different sports.
>>152972238take a random sample of 10 people how many are going to be able to run 100m in under 12s? now take a sample of 100 million people and tell me how many are going to be able to run 100m in under 10s. population absolutely does matter
>>152972288sure, but if the USA could send X number of athletes as long as they are be better than athletes from other nations in the international rankings, they would probably have a lot more medals and other nations a lot lessper capita is obviously a good statistic to put the medal counts into perspective, but you it would be false to assume that a nation is "better" just because they have more medals per capita
>>152972316yeah but the extra athletes they sent would be worse and so not likely to make a difference
>>152972177t. Hoesni Chang
>>152972316>if the USA could send X number of athletes as long as they are be better than athletes from other nations in the international rankings, they would probably have a lot more medals and other nations a lot lessAssuming everyone currently sends their best 3 it doesn't matter. Everyone extra would perform worse (on average) and thus finish behind those 3 anyway, outside of the medals. The variance on a country basis would go down somewhat as people over/underperform but it shouldn't really affect medal count over a large sample size. You can probably even do a monte carlo simulation for this under the basic assumption that 'performance' is normally distributed.
