Well here is the surprise of the 2024 Olympics: North Korea entered just 16 athletes but walks away with 6 medals, giving their athletes a 37.5% success rate. This turns out to be the highest in the world.
Obviously the more disciplines you enter the more medals, but this metric biases against team sports.
S.Korea only manages 22.6%. China does well at 23.5%. USA actually does okay at 21.1%. GBR 19.8%. Embarrassing failures are India at 5.1% Germany 7.7%. Israel 8.0%. New Zealand 10% (does much better looking at just golds).Now I wonder whether the Imperial press is going to cover this achievement especially given that the IOC officially states that the Olympics is strictly just about individual athletic performance and not about Countries, the corollary of which is that individual athletes officially cannot be affected by which country they represent? The Official Olympic table does not even mention North Korea. America's Imperial influence laid bare for all to see. #WashingtonIsPathetic
