Paris Olympics: The best stats from the 2024 Games
While the USA topped the official medals table, with population of just over 112,000, Grenada were actually the most successful nation when it comes to winning Olympics medals based on the size of their nation.
Anderson Peters and Lindon Victor’s bronze medals in both the men’s javelin and decathlon meant they averaged one medal per 56,289 inhabitants.
Dominica, Saint Lucia and New Zealand, who averaged one medal per 266,945 of their population, make up the top four.
Meanwhile Ireland were 18th, with Great Britain in 24th, the USA in 47th and China in 74th, while medal-starved India were bottom of the table averaging one medal per 234,151,666.
India sent a contingent of 117 athletes to Paris, yet had a meagre haul of five bronze medals and a solitary silver to show for their efforts. They were also one of 28 teams that failed to win a gold in any sport.
