Olympic Medal Count
The Olympic medal winners are athletes who are superior to their
probable competitors. They possess greater physical skills. The Olympic
Medal has been created and developed as a individual object; therefore,
the ribbon is not sewn at the top of the Medal. Instead the ribbon is
knotted to the ring around at the top of the Medal, to make an unusual
and intimately a unique whole. The Olympic medal tally is probably the
most frequently published list of any lot where the countries of the
world are given a rank order. There are now studies that attempt to
calculate the worth of winning an Olympic gold medal, and the average
amount of government financing required to win one.
Australia and Germany, which finished fourth and fifth, respectively,
in the 2000 medal race, both saw their total medals decline, but not by
as far as PwC expected. Australia won 25 gold medals and 115 medals in
those five Games, which equates to $37 million per gold medal and $8
million per medal.
India, for example, a country that boasts almost a fifth of the world?s
population, won a paltry 0.12 per cent of the medals in Athens: one out
of 826. Africa, a continent supremely prolific in sporting talent, won
4 per cent.
East Germany, despite a small population, won an enormous medal haul at
scarce five Olympics - 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1988 - thanks to the
most corrupt, steroid-saturated sports program in the world. This also
collapsed when the political system it was meant to honor collapsed.
