Gold Medals Won at the Paris Olympics
Gold Medals Won at the Last Olympics Games in Paris
There is something really wrong in the way States are represented at the Olympics Games.
A Continent like the USA with more than 300 million inhabitants and more than 50 States, is counted as ONE!!!
Just as an example, Italy is roughly big as California and almost the same inhabitants!!!
So, the States of USA should be represented at the Games, individually not as a Continent!!!
They keep saying that they won 40 Gold Medals in Paris, but the medals were won by athletes from more than 50 American States individually, big (or bigger!!!) as many European States!!!!
If We Put Together the European Gold Medals
If we put together the Gold Medals won by France, Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal and so on, we'll see that the European States together won many more Gold Medals!!!
| Country | Gold Medals |
|---|---|
| France | 16 |
| Netherlands | 15 |
| Great Britain | 14 |
| Italy | 12 |
| Germany | 12 |
| Hungary | 6 |
| Spain | 5 |
| Sweden | 4 |
| Belgium | 3 |
| Poland | 1 |
| Denmark | 2 |
| Norway | 4 |
| Switzerland | 1 |
| Greece | 1 |
| Ireland | 4 |
| Austria | 2 |
| Portugal | 1 |
| TOTAL | 103 |
Which is much more than the 40 of USA!!!
And I didn't count the considered Eastern European States as Uzbekistan (8), Ukraine (3), Bulgaria (3), Croatia (2), Azerbaijan (2), Czech Republic (3) and many more. Let's just say more than 30 more.
That total is more than 130 which is the triple of the 40 Gold Medals won by USA!!!!
Conclusion
I think that it is time to stop the trick of counting all the American States as if the USA (Nation) is a Nation like France or England or, let's begin to count the United Nations of Europe as a Nation as is the USA, and then will see who will win more gold medals for…….REAL!!!!!
