Will NZ clean up in the medal tally,,, again ?

[aussies1st]

Hes probably talking about the olympic games, there was some rubbish about NZ being right up there if you compared it per head of population.

was it the olyms ????? :shock:

oh well, close.

 

[c_eagle]

Nope, we still beat you.

NZ's population (4 million) * 5 = Australia's population (20 million)

NZ's gold medal tally (3 gold) * 5 < Australia's gold medal tally (17 gold)

 

[Dantm]

The Ram-rooters cant even defeat us in the fabricated stats contest!

Oh well ..Gold Medal tally -Melbourne 2006

Australia-89 Gold
Ram-rooters- 0

I hope Roy and HG do a Commonwealth Games show. It was hilarious during the last Olympics how they had a NZ medal tally every night. 0-0-0 :lol: :lol:

I am wondering why they aren't having one during the Winter Olympics like they did in Salt Lake city...But this could be interesting...Those two crack me up when they talk crap about every sport there is...lol

Oh - The only way the Australian netball team can upstage those snobby silver Ferns (not that I care about Netball anyway - A sport that is run by Housewives) is to poach Lauren Jackson...She is obviously everything that they want although she wouldn't make anywhere near as much dough in Netball as she would in Basketball anyway...

An Aussie journalist was in New Zealand doing stories where he saw a Kiwi farmer doing unnatural things with a sheep. He approached the Kiwi and firstly asked, "What sort of sheep is that?" He scribbled down the farmer's reply - "a Merino". The next question was, "Do you shear them?" The farmer replied hastily, "No! Go and find yer own!" (You'll need to know how a Kiwi's accent sounds to appreciate this joke!)

 

[brendothejet]

well if you want to use the per head theory NZ get owned at the Olympics and Winter Olympics by aus, but unfortunately the Kiwis haven't won any medals at those competitions for a while

New Zealand needs one of those things Australia use to get their athletes up to scratch.

lets look at the medals per capita:

from the Australian Bureau of Statistics:
The ABS said the traditional measure of medals as a 'raw score' did not take into account the population of the competing country, a possible factor in the ability of nations to field medal winning athletes. When this was considered, it presented a different picture to the traditional measure

can't find any for the latest two olympics included but here is a list of medals per capita since 1948 to 1998 (summer and winter)
source http://users.skynet.be/hermandw/olymp/reloly98.html

new zealand = 10th
aussie = 16th

The Com Games just serve as a way to prove how good Australia are at sports.

Then why the need to get people from other countires to represent australia?

Convenient for the Ram-rooters to leave off the last two Olympic Games.

Olympics 1896-2004

Australia

Medals:386
Population:20,090,437

Ramrooters

Medals:77
Population:4,031,637


Ramrooters are still behind

By the way,how pathetic do NZ compete at a Winter Olympics considering the ideal climate and landscape...

PATHETIC!
