By that same logic, we'd all be speaking German.

All of our team medals really hurt our per capita count.

"Iran won one medal for every 6.2 athletes sent to Athens, while the United States won one medal for 13.8 athletes," the head of Iran's Physical Education Organisation Mohsen Mehralizadeh told the Etemad newspaper. Whatever, Iran.
We can beat you where it counts. Got it?
Iran sounds a little obsessed, don't they?

LOL! Thanks for starting my day with a BIG laugh. Even as I read the text, all I could think of was Baghdad Bob.
VERY funny.

In related news, the top three 100 M sprinters claim that they should also be awarded the gold, silver, and bronze in the marathon because, per meter, they were faster than the winners of the marathon.

Sheesh!! Sounds like Daschle explaining polling data!
Hilarious ping

Medal envy?
So by his goofy math, if we only sent 1 athlete and he got a medal we'd be the king daddy of the olympics with a 1:1 ratio?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Kerry should hire these folks.

If they're counting individuals on team events (i.e. basketball & volleyball), then they need to expand the medal count for those events by adding each INDIVIDUAL'S medal to the total medal count.
Or they could just go John F'n Kerry themselves!
To: No Surrender Monkey
And this doesn't even count the probable gold medal that was forfeited because their athlete refused to compete against a Jew.
To: MeanWestTexan
Technically, the 200M winner had a faster per meter time than the 100M winner, so HE should get the Marathon Gold...
<sarcasm> Maybe it would just be easier to admit the obvious: Iran is superior to the USA in Olympic performance.</sarcasm>

Thats right Iran keep lying to yourself, no matter how you shake it, how you bake it, you still suck.
To: No Surrender Monkey
I beleive there were just over 200 medal events at the Olympics. That means the U.S., on average, got better than one medal per 2 events -- an average that improves when it is noted that the US didn't even send a team/competitor in certain events (failed to qualify men's soccer and baseball, at a bare minimum).

Completely ignoring the fact that atheletes have to qualify for the Olympics in pre-Olympic competitions. This just means that the US had more atheletes qualify for the Olympics than Iran.
