Alternative Olympics 2012 Medal Table

Looking simply at the numbers of medals won in the 2012 Olympic Games may not actually tell us which countries over-performed against our expectations based on the size of the talent pool available to them.

So what does looking at medals won in the context of the size of a nation's population do to the all important medal table? Are China and the US still top dogs? Do GB do quite as well as one might expect?

单纯审视2012年奥运会上各国获得的奖牌数量，或许并不能真正揭示出哪些国家在根据其可用人才库规模的情况下，超越了我们的预期。那么，在考虑一个国家人口规模的基础上审视所获奖牌，这对至关重要的奖牌榜产生了怎样的影响？中国和美国是否依然处于领先地位？英国的表现是否如人们预期那般出色？
