The states got 99-100 medals now,... that's the number one spot of course, but they have almost 300 million people that can become athletes!
Belgium, to name a smaller country, got 3 medals, but they "only" have 10 million people. But if you put it on scale (that is: devide 99 by 30 to see how many medals they would get if they had 10 million) and they get 3.30; in other words: it's impressive but counting on their population it's only average...
Look at The Netherlands, they have 22 medals for 16 million people. To scale for the states that would be 5.28 medals, BUT the dutchies scored 22, that's much more impressive
