Size matters? But what about in the Olympics?

                         Any kid will tell you that size often matters.

But size is deceptive and great things come in little packages. 

Just look at this league table with data from yesterday:

Country	Golds	Population	Medals (total)
China	35	1,344,130,000	76
USA	30	311,591,917	72
Great Britain	22	62,641,000	48
South Korea	12	49,779,000	24
Russia	10	141,930,000	49
France	8	65,436,552	28
Germany	7	81,726,000	32

The population of my County, Yorkshire, is 5,284,000, and athletes here had gained 10 medals, by the end of yesterday. That would put them 10^th in the medal table, ahead of many countries.

Massive things can be accomplished by small countries and even small athletes...

When others help them to grow.

Congratulations to the Brownlee brothers and all who helped our athletes to accomplish their dreams.
