Interesting analysis from WSJ, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443537404577577424112910262.html. Provides some consolation for India :giggle:, we are currently at 19th in the losers table :yay:.

The Journal reviewed every event in the Olympics thus far to see which country has finished last (the lead medal), second-to-last (tin) and third-to-last (zinc) most often.

Op its relative to the number of events the countries participate in' date='take a ratio and see:giggle:[/quote'] It's only for fun, there are obvious flaws. If anything the countries finishing in top half is actually a good indicator how competitive they are since they still had to qualify against other nations to compete at the "elite" Olympics.
