China or India wouldn't make it to the top 10 even if they won pretty much every single medal available, which clearly is not possible....

india is not a good example, they do not have a widely propagated sports culture...chinamen are tiny fuckers they will be good only at certain sports and also have low testosterone and growth...the only strength medals china has is in lightweight category weightlifting...they will hardly make for good sprinters against giants like usain bolt or swimmers like phelps...they are practically useless in speed and strength events...in china everybody is up to my nipple...
but yes billions in population does become a negative factor given the finite amount of medals at the olympics...
