Fact: Aussies twice as good as Poms!
The recently completed commonwealth games had Australia on top of the medals table with 74 gold medals and England with 37!
Given that the population of Australia is about 22 million and that of England over 50 million, that really makes us about 4.5 times better if we calculate on a per capita basis, but I don't want to be too hard on the poor poms.
And what about Canada? Don't they play sports there? A mere 26 gold medals! And they have a 50% larger population than Australia.
Maybe the miserable weather in those countries keeps everyone indoors.
