This statistics will surprise you
by Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ
A lot is said about Chinese accomplishments during Olympics, but the results need to be put in perspective, mainly one has to look at the per capita numbers, per capita accomplishments. China has population of 1.3 billion. 34 medals received by Chinese athletes mean that if you are Chinese, you have a 1 in 39 million chance to receive a medal. after 6 days of copetition U.S. received 37 medals, slightly more than China, but per capita results are much more significant: if you are an American, you have a 5 times higher chance or 1 in 8.2 million to get a medal. If you are from New Zealand, your chance to get a medal is 50 times higher than a chance of someone from China. New Zealand got 5 medals for 4 million people or 1 medal for 0.8 million. Of course the results after 6 days of competition are not the same as the final results. We expect more medal for the US in track and field, boxing, rowing, cycling. There will be more medals for Russians and Chinese as well.
Some results reflect the allocation of funds for sports, as was seen in the countries coming from the Eastern bloc. That probably explains high per capita numbers in Slovenia, Mongolia, Slovakia, Hungary and Cuba.
For some tiny countries statistics is not reliable. For example a tiny country of Qatar got just 1 medal but it bumped it’s standing towards the top of the list, the third place. With more medals per country results are more reliable. Taking everything into consideration it is important to look at the trend: you see better results in smaller countries, typicallysmaller countries with developed economies.
See all per capita statistics below. They reflect results after 6 days. Each line shows a total population in millions. The population is rounded to the nearest million. Next I calculated the number of millions of population per 1 Olympic medal. If you are a statistics junkie or sports junkie or political science junkie, you might be interested to see the results.
1. Slovenia 2 million/3 medals. 1medal for 0.7 million

This is a very interesting observation! So, does this mean that if “they” get their way, and the entire world is merged into a one world government, nobody will get any medals?

After seeing the children’s camps in China, where children are taken away from families for training, with endless hours swimming, I do not think I can stomach the Olympics anymore. I used to think that professionals were not allowed and it was an amateur competition. But if state-funded programs take children away for a life of training, then this hardly seems a sport among amateurs, but even more professional than professional sports. It is sickening and I no longer support the Olympics, unless ground rules are laid for training, etc. Sounds live holocaust slave labor camps for children, and it should be stopped by the world community. That is just in my opinion.

I’ve always thought the Olympic Games should be open for all athletes to participate in, whether they are amateurs or professionals.
By opening the Olympic Games to all, it eliminates any chance of a professional sneaking in where they are not allowed.
The less rules the better.
The Olympic Games should be a showcase of the worlds bests athletes, no more, no less.
Eliminate all the testing and just let the athletes do their thing.

I’m wondering if this type of “training” is done in Russia, as well? Or in any of the other commie nations?
This was really disgusting to view the photo! I’m also wondering if all the liberals think that it’s still great to want this kind of “way of life” here? They just aren’t understanding what this really means!

Dear Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.
Your tireless work for America — and now for China as well! — can only enhance your already august reputation with the Nobel Nomination Committee.
But I write this evening to inform you that it appears your email is being interfered with in some way. I have sent you three (3) copies of a set of informational documents needed to further process your nomination, and all three (3) have bounced back as “undeliverable”.
Not to worry! We have your physical address and can send the documents by what you Americans call “snail mail”. But if you will, please respond to my message by sending me an email at:
nominationcommittee@nobelprize.org.se
Then post here that you have sent an email and I will confirm whether or not it was received.
It’s an abomination that we should have to endure this atrocity simply to communicate one with another. But then, if governments were not of a totalitarian bent — AS THEY ARE — we would have no need for such prizes as the Nobel Peace Prize! No?
Be strong!
Sven Teigen

are you kidding me? what do you mean eliminate all the testing? you have to test to disqualify everyone, who is using preformance enhancing drugs

Dear Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.,
Why I’m against testing, the real good cheaters know ways to fool the tests.
So the tests are actually helping those athletes who are good cheaters, because the tests are just eliminating the athletes using drug and don’t know how to cheat very good.
If I remember right, when the Olympic Games were held in South Korea, it was later discovered that some of the top athletes had used drugs but somehow fooled the tests.
I’m against using anykind of illegal drugs myself.
Do preformance enhancing drugs really give an unfair edge to the users, over a good well cinditioned athlete, I just don’t know.
Aren’t some preformance drugs that legal and some that aren’t.
Even Coffee, cokes, and teas can perk a person up so they can do better. Should they be banned too?
Where do we draw the line to ban or not to ban?
For myself I don’t even like to take anykind of painkillers.
The more rules there are the more it gives the dishonest person the edge over the honest person.
