GBR! GBR!
We’re #4! We’re #4!
Only because you have 62 million people and a GDP worth $2.8 trillion!
Wouldn’t the medals/population and medals/gdp be dominated by the Rep. of Michael Phelps?
Yes, Phelps would have won every single category per population and per GDP. I just wanted to show that he would have placed Top 10 in a category without restrictions. He won more golds than France did, for crying out loud.
I love these lists - thank you!
