We all saw the medal trackers that said the United States and China were dominating the Olympics.

Great for them, but consider this -- the U.S. has a population of 303,824,646 (according to July 2008 estimates on the CIA World Factbook Web site), and China is home to 1,330,044,605 people. That's a pretty big pool of athletes to pick from.

What about Bahrain? It has only 718,306 potential Olympians.

So Page 2 has decided to award a prize to the country that won the most medals per people in its home country.

And the winner is … (sorry, you have to scroll down to the bottom)
