If EU was considered one country (like the US for example), they would also get a lot fever spots in the olympics, no?
85 0 Replymuch 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
91 1 ReplyWell China gets the Hong Kong alt account at least.
49 0 ReplyYeah if you're doing this you should do it per capita (in this case divided by total number of athletes in that group
21 0 ReplyThey'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

22 0 ReplyAny pretense of that went out the window in the '36 Olympics and it has primarily been a political spectacle ever since.

36 0 Replylmao I can assure you no one in portugal gives a fuck if some spanish much less hungarian dude wins 1 or 2 medals
34 0 ReplyPlease tell me the responses are full of mockery at this framing
31 0 ReplyEven 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
31 0 Replybe europe

11 0 Replypathetic, come on, how stupid do you have to be to make yourself look this bad
10 0 ReplyHow many athletes each country can send? Is it proportional to population?
8 0 ReplyNah, I think there's a lower limit of some skill/qualitative measure then it's just if you can send them. France has like 560 something athletes at this one.
8 0 ReplyWell, then it's impressive if you look at medals per-capita
