        @WSJ aww is that the best you can come up with? GB has more medals per population ratio. What's the problem; unhappy it's been a success?

        @WSJ And US have the dubious distinction of having 5 times the population but no where near 5 times as many golds or medals for that matter.

        @WSJ Well this is obvious. JD identifies in the opening para. You are more likely to lose in a sport you don't normally compete.
