What is a developed country, the Olympic gold medal table tells you the truth.
The top 15 of the Olympic gold medal list, in addition to China, all developed countries, not only the traditional Five Eyes Alliance, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea, but also the Netherlands and Sweden with a population of less than 20 million, the most admirable thing is that Ireland, with a population of only 5 million, has 4 golds and 3 bronzes, and New Zealand also has a population of 5 million, 3 golds, 6 silvers and 2 bronzes. For reference, India, with a population of more than 1.4 billion, is the largest country in the world, with only 3 bronze medals in the account, ranking only 69th, and Indonesia has 276 million people, 1 gold and 1 bronze.
Ireland's per capita GDP is $112,000, Netherlands $61,700, New Zealand $48,000, India $2,500, Indonesia $4,900, Ireland's per capita GDP is 44 times that of India.
Therefore, competitive sports are still the sport of the rich, and if you want to compete for the championship, you have to select good seedlings and spend money to invite champions to coach. How many years has India shouted that the gold medal list has surpassed China, the last chicken feather.
