2024 Olympic Golds Per Population

The way the Olympic Table is calculated by the amount of Gold medals which are won does tend to skew things slightly because obviously the higher the population, the more people there are to choose from so USA (3rd most populous with 335.8m), China (1st with 1,409.6m) and Japan (13th 123.9m) did have a very deep well of citizens to pick from so credit must go the nations with a smaller population and this website has done all the hard work and has compiled the league table by population per Gold Medal claimed in Paris.
With a population of only 67,408, Dominica win this particular Olympics with their one gold medal meaning the Population per Gold medal is 67,408 with Saint Lucia (184,100 per Gold) and New Zealand (533.890 per gold) taking the top three places on the Winners podium.
Of the official table top 10, in the adjusted by population table USA are 34th (8,397,330 people per gold), China 51st (35,241,750 per gold), Japan 31st (6,198,000 per gold), Australia 10th (1,520,256 per gold), France 23rd (4,279,250 per gold), Netherlands 6th (1,198,511 per gold), Great Britain 27th (4,828,305 per gold), South Korea 22nd (3,945,011 per gold), Italy 28th (4,914,289 per gold) and Germany 33rd (7,056,096 per gold).
It is obviously not an exact science because India has a population of 1.4bn but never made the adjusted table because they never won any golds in France but it does make New Zealand's 10 Golds, Netherlands 15 and Australians 18 look very good as their 43 golds were won with a population of 50.3m between them which is roughly the population of Spain who came 15th with 5 Golds.
