If people are saying that the 'euro' nations have more medals than the USA does, then how about the 'euro' nation changes to only having one team?

They'd have the same amount of medals either way?

Let X = the number of countries in the eu with olympic teams. If the eu had ony one team they would have 1/x the number of athletes in the olympics. I don't think they would have the same number of medals. Claiming the eu has the most medals is extremely disengenuous since collectively they have a huge number of athletes competing.

no they wouldn't because many of the 'euro' countries got gold silver bronze in the same events, thus giving them more medals overall. And more people competing.

Team GB alone have 25 golds compared to USA's 38. fuck all of Europe, just add together GB and Germany, or some other EU country.

There are limits to how many competitors you can have per event, and there's a certain bit of chance when it comes to winning a gold. Bolt aside, competitors normally don't win by daylight, if you reran the race 2-3 times there's a good chance that you'd see a different result.

It's sort of embarrassing how dominant the Anglos are.
