Or.. just a lot better than you lot. Surprising really, especially considering the drug culture in Australian sport.
Given the population being 3x greater than Australia, I'm not surprised GB finished above Australia in the 'medal tally'.
That being said, i think team GB exceeded all expectations and Australia severely under-achieved so the disparity between the 2 nations is a lot greater than anyone would have anticipated

Population argument - India and China should always be 1 and 2.

per capita argument is offset by Australian weather and free open space compared to UK.
Simply speaking, Australians are poor at sport and poor at organising success.

It's a shame really, they used to be quite good but now they can only be described as poor. Someone on my facebook page tried to use per capita, it was quite funny when I pointed out, per capita we're higher as well.

I'd rather have a better lifestyle than a few better athletes all the same. That's the best win for me.

When did I call you a loser? If being a good father is being a loser then happily accept that tag.

When did I call you an aussie?
