Armenia #1 in the Olympics!!

The LA Times has a good story about the top ranking countries in Olympic medals... per capita. I have thought before about how high Armenia would rank if only things were measured per capita (it would have won this year's Eurovision for example if Eurovision votes had been weighed in relation to the population of the countries voting).

So Armenia, with 4 bronze medals so far, comes in at #1 with a medal for every something like 750,000 people. Then comes Georgia, then Australia.

Not bad for such a little country. Anyone who gets a gold for Armenia will be given $766,000 in prizes by the Armenian government ($66,000) and Dodi Gago ($700,000).
