    If EU was considered one country (like the US for example), they would also get a lot fever spots in the olympics, no?

      much fewer, India and China are as diverse as Europe but only get to send one delegation, euros shouldn't be allowed to collate scores if they get to send 30 teams to every fucking event

        Yeah if you're doing this you should do it per capita (in this case divided by total number of athletes in that group

        They're not allowed anything, it's just this organization that counted like that. Not official

    Chinese prefectures should be allowed to send separate delegations if 'europe' gets to take credit for their pissant autonomies so insolently called 'states'. the fuck is a Denmark, i know it doesn't have as much cultural diversity as Inner Mongolia

    imagine being jingoistic for an event where winning is almost exclusively determined by population pool + wealth + luck

    Even if I take the framing that seems to be gone for here on a like "medals per capita" basis surely Hong Kong and Georgia blow everyone there out of the fucking water. Like both of those countrys combined have a population of NYC + LA combined and they still rank

    be europe
    have 44 different country teams
    which are the richest on the planet
    can't even 4x the ONE single Chinese team

    imagine having 44 tries at every single event lmao. And then China has 1 try and still gets half the gold medals
