I have prepared a an adjusted ranking of the top 23 medal-winning
countries that might be available this time tomorrow. Jamaica is
Number One, the USA 19, and China last.

Considering that I don't particularly want to live in the

What surprised me looking at medals won v population statistics, was that

won no medals whatsoever.
