Okay.... we've got some successful people who can't sing...  and can't drive...  But have incredibly good managers...  who could probably sell droppings as gold nuggets..

I usually normalize the medal count by the population count of the respective country. Suddenly places like Switzerland or Norway (both with a population that is a small fraction of greater Los Angeles 🐵 seem that much more impressive. 😄

Perhaps you could express Olympic efficiency as medals per capita, multiplied by a coefficient of opportunity related to how close the average citizen lives to a suitable practice facility.

Switzerland - small population, lots of mountains nearby, lots of opportunity to practise many Olympic sports.

Australia - moderate population, not many ski resorts, a fairly long way from population centres.

Any Scandinavian country - small populations, lots of snowy bits. Any skiing medals are thus worth far less than an Australian one.

Sadly, the Tongan luger didn't win a medal this time round.

Nor the Jamaican bobsled team.

I cheered for the Jamaicans! 

That reminds me... I gatta look up that movie with John Candy.
