Not surprisingly, rich(er) countries dominate the #olympics medal table, clearly seen when plotting the medals per capita vs. #GDP per capita.
Or: the 60% of the world population with GDP below 10k$ can only celebrate 19% of all #medals🏅. #paris2024 #dataviz

@pfsmet I would not in any way wish to disparage the efforts & talent of the athletes, but the whole show seems designed as bread & circuses for the masses, & the size of the pool to draw from seems less influential than cultures with elevated health care & more emphasis on physical activity, both outdoors & in.
