DoctorG Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Have seen this done before in previous Olympics. Always good fun and a chance for the smaller nations to boast a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailimpan Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The ability to do summer sports are not the same all over the world. I argue that there need to be season index as well as certain sports can't be practiced all year in all countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza40 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's an event so corrupted by drugs, money and politics it is no longer worth watching. An Australian ex-politician came up with an interesting proposition. Return the Olympics to Greece permanently, thus eliminating the corrupt process which decides the host city. Also giving the Greeks a badly-needed economic boost. I don't understand why golf and tennis are included, the original Greek Olympics certainly didn't have these sports. Although it's interesting golf is the only sport where the only effective performance-enhancing drug in the past has been alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 what if the size of the representing teams are applied, instead of the population? it's the teams that are doing the hard yards for their medals, not the lounge lizards back at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole rotten circus needs to be cleansed from the very top to the very bottom. It won't happen though, and anyway I doubt there exist powerful enough disinfectants to do the job properly.

BlindMagician Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 2 hours ago, SoiBiker said: Where is Great Britain? Team GB is actually GB+NI, isn't it? UK population is 64m, with 41 medals, gives about 0.64. Could also normalise against budget, itself normalised for bang for buck local costs. Ultimately, normalise against talent, or against number of medals won, and we all get 1.0 result, which seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKr Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Today's update. Great Britain is now devided under the United Kingdom, and the Koreas and Taiwan (Taipei) also added.
