Medals Per Capita [Interactive Data]

When I teach the Sociology of Sport, I like to spend some time on global sport.  One thing that we always discuss is the relationship between a country's wealth, population, and success. What do these things have to do with each other?

Medals Per Capita is a great resource for this discussion.  You can use the list of the left to look at medals by population and GDP. You can look at just one Olympics or at many.




You could also easily use this as a discussion springboard in any lecture on Global Inequalities. Very cool site!
