I'm really bad with stats and your works is really amazing. :) But, I think that some parameters might be missing imho like each country location or population's sport preferences. For exemple, Norway has a far greater ski practitioners population than Kenya and Portugal has a way more prominent football (soccer) culture than the USA.

Out of curiosity how much do you think it would change if you did medals vs athletes participating at that olympics. While population makes a difference I think the actual showing up vs winning may be fairly enlightening myself.

I don't see why the result for winter olympics was surprising. Norway has both the most medals and the most gold medals of any nation in the winter olympics. It was always gonna come out on top, especially with the low population, no matter how you crunch the numbers.

The video only mentioned the winter Olympics since 1998, which I assume is what hue hue was also meaning (and I believe Norway would have the most medals in the specified period), therefore fjellyo32's caveat about USSR and East Germany are inapplicable, as would be any former Yugoslav countries previous histories within Yugoslavia or Czechia/Slovakia's previous histories within Czechoslovakia etc. In fact I assume this is why the original video did not take things back further than the late 90s, so that political geography was kept the same for the entire period (more or less).

Why is almost nobody in the comments mentioning the fact that a person with approximately 2000 subscribers put in so much effort into their video, knowing well, that at this point being a small youtuber and doing this type of content is such a gamble.This a person, who actually deserves to be at the top of KZread.Well done man, keep going.

Shouldn’t you take the number of participants each country can send to the Olympics into account? For example, maybe China has the ability to to train a lot more athletes but they don’t because it would be useless because only a few can go to the olympics.

When we have finished the ride, we sue Statoil for drilling for oil because it smells bad and the poor fish get oily, which then speaks out on the Big Thing, aka. the rather small parliament, that you skied on a polar bear's butt. That is very illegal so you get locked up for 2 minutes in a five-star hotel which people call prison.

There is also not likey to be less funded as it's a lottery, i don't think they'll be a decline rather a plateau.

There's no correspondence between country size and number of skilled athletes so I don't see the point in calculating anything based on that. Just divide number of medals won by the total number of athletes entered and you'll get your answer for who did the best in the Olympics. More population =/= More elite athletes

It really matters how you define winning the Olympics. Your definition seems to be highest ratio of medals to qualifying athletes. In that case, the best strategy would be to only send athletes you are sure will take home a medal. You can also easily have multiple counties tie for 1st place with 100%. If Russia has 1 athlete and they get gold, and China has 10 athletes who all get gold, who wins?

I’m not really informed about how Olympic work. But I was wondering what if we calculate “X type metal/total sports participated” and then apply your formula if there’s any ties. Wouldn’t this fairer?

Awesome unique video. Great job.

Wait what? Can you explain the impressive-o-meter in more detail Also SIDNEY

This doesn't take into account how countries are limited in sending athletes. USA has enough athletes to sweep the podiums in some events but they are only allowed to send the same number of athletes as everyone else. Its unfair because some of the best athletes are not allowed to compete in the Olympics because they aren't the best in their country.

When the impressiveness-o-meter was announced I almost shit my pants. Great video bro

Interesting but it should take into account the spreading of medals into the different disciplines. For example, at Pyeongchang Olympics, the Netherlands got 20 medals out of 20 in speed skating. There are impressive... in speed skating LOL

Its no different in the summer Olympics, Phelps took home how many golds for swimming? whereas for basketball 10 guys got one gold between them.

Finland is a good Winter Olympics country , yet compared to all of our neighbors (Norway,Sweden,Russia) we are shit :D . At least Norway doesn't seem to have an idea what Ice Hockey is.

holy shit, you put so much work into this good job.

Semi-Quantitative methods rarely produce accurate results. It's mostly just a lot of p-hacking. It's a good introduction into a problem which needs more work. It seems like creating a black-box solution which outputs a single variable isn't as useful as using multiple variables and graphs to let users make inferences themselves.

Can you do this on the commonwealth games?

Nicely done.

3 good things about the Tokyo Olympics: 1. China came 2nd, not 1st. 2. The USWNT didn't win. 3. NZ weightlifter Laurel Hubbard screwed up.

This just begs the question which factors are counted and which factors are not counted towards the "impressiveness" of a country's athletes. To what degree do we try to make it fair? For example, if you factor in population, then what about factoring in the fact that a country like Norway has MUCH more opportunity and facilities for even practicing winter Olympic sports due to geographical location than say, Cuba? Or what about the factor of each country's poverty rate/social class distribution? Countries like Nigeria have a huge population, but the overwhelming majority don't even dream of ever competing in something like the Olympics, because they are busy struggling for food and clean water every day. So logically, even though they have a higher population than say, the US, the US has a larger pool of people that are even able to train for the Olympics. To take it to extremes, should we even factor in the innate genetic differences in people from different parts of the world? Should the impressiveness be solely based on how hard each athlete worked? (probably impossible to calculate) There's simply too many factors to make a truly fair ranking, and even then, people would have a different idea of what is fair and what is not; which factors should be counted, and which ones should not. Just saying.

wifebeater69 you’re looking too deep into this. Norway is good at winter sports because there’s winter half the year, people are rich, and every kid learns skiing from age 4. Australia is good as summer sports because there is summer the whole year, the country is fairly rich, and people are healthy and fit.

By the same token historically great Olympic sports countries like Usa,Russia and China control a lot of what becomes Olympic sports . So the USA benefits in medal count by having a bunch of niche X-Game style sport's we are good in added,while a sport which is a top tier sport in several non Olympic super power's and is played by tens of millions of more people is never added to the Olympic's because it's a medal Germany- Usa-Russia-China etc would be unlikely to win.

What sport is that would you say? Seriously tell me a sport that is played a ton not in the olympics. Also the x games sports have only been added the last 2-3 games as they grow in popularity everywhere.

Man, this deserves more views

Fantastic video dude!

a better way would be to measure the people who are actively training to be in the olympics instead of just using the general population.

Great video I found it informative.

What is the result when you combine the summer and winter games?

Instead of per capita, why not measure per athlete sent to the games? This would take the % of the athletes representing the country that actually won. This makes it fair to both small and large countries. EDIT: Few people are arguing for larger population = better athletes as the country because of the wider selection. It is invalid because we are "measuring performance at the games". You can't count the amount of athletes and citizens(non athletes) of a country that isn't even in the Olympics and measure their performance! You can't punish countries for not making enough athletes like India. US has a supportive environment for athletes, versus India. Using medals won to participating athletes of each country is valid because it is proportional. Like 2 math tests with score of 50/100 and 20/30 ~ although the first test has more correct answers, the second test score is in-fact better, which solves the per capita problem.

hullmees666 First of all, there are standards that need to be met to qualify for events. Not all nations have a secured spot so sending the worst athletes for the jokes, isn't likely. The standards are time etc. You can look them all up for each event.

hullmees666 Secondly, even by sending your best athletes, doesn't mean they will win for sure. In my high school, we have different divisons. The worst athletes in tier 1 can still easily beat the best on tier 2. Point being everyone in each events can still win.

@ChuckADickiner

but population increases the odds of having more atheletes to pull from. for example: if the us hass 300+ million vs canada having 30+million and they both send a team the same size the canadian team would be at a disadvantage of not having as many people to select their team from. whereas the US team had 10 times the number of people to select their team from.

Wow, so Britain has actually performed the best the past 2 Summer Olympics? I knew we were doing well but we were always behind the US on the tables. I feel so proud for our athletes.

I like how they light the Olympic torch near Athens, then it stays lit all the way to the opening ceremony. -------------------- I guess it's hard to put out a Greece fire.

you should do one about what countries do the best in the winter olympics per snowfall each year

I think your model works really well, and some sanity checks help verify that. For example in the mid-2000's there was a change in the way UK sport was funded to have a more medal focused approach (sports with a lesser medal chance had their funding cut or eliminated to focus it on the sports that would do well, like indoor cycling events). Also Australia was the one I predicted as coming out best, they are a sport obsessed nation. The only thing I would suggest is that maybe the number of medals needs to be weighted. Events like swimming and cycling have a very large number of medals for just slightly different events, which means that some nations can really dominate in those arenas. For example in the cycling GB won 6 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze out of 18 events.
