This is the medal tally for the games ....
1 China 51 21 28 100
2 USA 36 38 36 110
3 Russian Federation 23 21 28 72
4 Great Britain 19 13 15 47
5 Germany 16 10 15 41
6 Australia 14 15 17 46
However, looking at it from a more meaningful perspective, which is
difficult with tongue in cheek, Australia is the clear winner when one
considers how many medals were won in relation to our population.
1 Australia 21,394,309 465,093 people per medal
2 Great Britain 60,975,000 1,297,340 people per medal
3 Russia 141,888,900 1,970,679 people per medal
4 Germany 82,191,000 2,004,658 people per medal
5 USA 304,977,000 2,772,518 people per medal
6 China 1,325,768,000 13,257,680 people per medal
