After the conclusion of the year-long delayed Tokyo Olympic Games, the United States of America once again topped the final medal tally furthering its dominance on the Games in recent times. However, a fresh perspective that highlights average medals earned per capita has a surprising island nation on top of the rankings. According to data presented by Safe Betting Sites, the Bahamas leads in average number of medals won per capita at the Summer Olympic Games with an average of 55.75 medals per capita.
The Bahamas Takes Gold In Per Capita Medal Rankings, Finland Takes Silver And Hungary Settles For BronzeThe US has dominated the Olympics in recent times and has the highest all-time medal count with over 2600 medals won in its entire Olympic history. The US’ ranking is not a surprise considering its long-standing position as one of the world’s superpowers. However, when considering a country’s population a perhaps surprising small island nation takes gold medal in the rankings.
The country of the Bahamas takes the top spot on the podium in terms of medals won per capita from the Summer Olympic Games. With a population of only 290,000 in 2020 and a medal tally that includes 8 golds for a total of 16 Olympic medals, The Bahamas have won 55.75 medals per million citizens.
