i have a little question: has every country the same number of athlets at athens? or is it possible that the US or china or whatever have simply more people that can win more medals?!?

not that i would care, just a thought.... ;)

[David85]

Of course some countries have more people, I mean there are 1.5 billion in China and they are still in second. It doesn't really matter, it's more of a "Damn a person went this fast" or "Iraq might win it's second medal ever!".

so 2 bronce are better than one gold? :loul:

[jonfett]

I think that the medal table David used is out dated as Britain have 6 gold medals now after our haul yesterday (we got 5 golds!)

For a more updated table check out my link as it is edited daily.

[David85]

Well I posted it yesterday, prob before they had the new medals in.

There's a link, I'm sure they update it.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to put you down. I didn't see your link, just the table that you put.

I don't know which site is better but I am sure they are just the same anyway so it doesn't matter!

Jon.

[Jipay]

Well normaly, you shouldn't count thenumber of total medals but the number of gold. This is what define the rank normaly :)
