wittyfan said:A quick recap of the medal tally:
Australia: 54 Gold Medals, Population 20 million: 37,037 people per Gold.
NZ 2 Gold Medals, Population 4 million: 2 million people per Gold.
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)

gunnamatta bay said:What don't you understand about the term New Zealand Warriors dougie? Or NZ Breakers? New Zeland in front of your title means you represent NZ. Why are you in denial?
Fact is the nz team is not much smaller then the oz team.
BTW using ozbashs forumula the Isle of Mann is slaughtering NZ with one gold and a bronze.

Australia could turn New Zealand into one large Tourist resort too as well the farming/live stock and agricultural Bread basket etc for Australia similiar to what Ukraine was for the Soviet Union.
It's only a matter of time before New Zealand is intergrated into Australia
