As the Paris Olympics progresses, the Olympic medal table is also updated in real time. Although it is constantly changing, most of the time, the medal table is led by sports powers such as China and the United States. Recently, in order to make their country top the medal table, the Australian media "opened up their minds" and proposed the idea of ​​using "average number of medals per capita" as the ranking standard.

An article published on the Australian news website "9News" on August 8 wrote that if the number of medals won by each country in the Paris Olympics was divided by its population to calculate a "per capita medal number", Australia would be the "first place by a gap" on the list.

As of the time of article publication,Australia tops the list with 1.52 medals per million people, leaving all other countries far behind.

Ranking by Medals Per Capita

By this calculation method, Australia also has the highest number of gold medals per capita - 0.66 gold medals per million Australians.

The Netherlands ranked second in terms of medals and gold medals per capita, with 1.11 medals and 0.5 gold medals per million people. The remaining countries did not exceed 1 medal per million people.
