List of interesting Olympic medal facts.
A few tidbits I found especially interesting.
Quote:
18) Michael Phelps would have finished tied for 9th in the gold medal count, ahead of countries including France, Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Argentina, Switzerland, Brazil and Mexico.
19) The rest of the world won seven golds in men's swimming events. Phelps, of course, won eight.
29) From 1980 to 2008, Jamaica won three Olympic golds. In a span of six days in Beijing, Usain Bolt won three.
32) China won 27 gold medals in judged sports.
33) The United States won 4 gold medals in judged sports.
