When one divides the medal counts of top countries in the 2026 Winter Olympics by the population of each country one comes up with what I am calling the...
'Olympic Medal Factor'
When I established an Olympic Medal Factor for the top nine medal winners in the recently completed Winter Olympics, I discover that Canada is almost tied with Italy (30 medals divided by 59 million population) with a Olympic Medal Factor of 5.1). Canada's Olympic Medal Factor is 5.25 ( 21 medals divided by 40 million population).
Italy placed 3rd in the official recent Winter Olympic medal count at 30 medals. Using what I am calling the 'Olympic Medal Factor', Canada could be ranked in 4th place in a revised medal standings tally.
Please comment if you wish.
