That's the beauty about the Olympics. If you divided the amount of gold medals by the country population, countries like Australia would win, and the US would have a hard time getting in the top 10 because of tiny countries with a single gold medal.

If you divide the medals by the population, you'd ALWAYS lose. But this time you guys really lost by a metrics that YOU created. And now, you guys are trying to change the metric!

LOL!
