People's Daily Online: "The lightening Usain Bolt and other Jamaican sprint aces helped their country win six gold medals in Beijing, but they could never think that also raises the Caribbean island atop on the medal tally.
At least one Australian researcher thinks so. Simon Forsyth, from Brisbane, ranked Jamaica first in his Beijing Olympic medal tally by population, highly ahead of China and the United States.
In his 'gold medal tally by per million population', Jamaica was winning with 2.1582 as of Saturday afternoon. The runner-up is Bahrain and Estonia the third. China was 45th, the United States was 31st and Russia 26th.
Forsyth also provides total medal tally and weighted medal score both by per million population. Jamaica still holds the top. And the 'Giant 3' China, the United States and Russia, lag in distance, too.
Forsyth's own country, Australia, ascends top 10 in those three tallies, but trails some 'small countries' like Bahamas and Slovenia."
