Just on the Dutch converting top placings into golds its just not that, its also the percentage of their total team that took home gold and medals. I have to complete this for the top 10 but so far I have done 4. Here are Netherlands and USA.
The Dutch had 5 individual multiple medallists and all won at least a gold medal.
So 23.6% of the 258 strong Dutch team took home a gold medal and 40.7% took home a medal. That compares very favourable with the USA team and its athletes.
The USA had 44 individual multiple medallists. 35 of those 44, won a gold medal + at least 1 other medal.
So 18.6% of the USA's team of 592 athletes took home gold, so less than the Dutch and 42.2% took home home a medal, slightly more than the Dutch.
Both were helped a lot by winning several of the 8 x 2 (men and women) team sport medals. USA's 8 out of 16 potential medals was the most, France won 7 (2G 5S) and Netherlands next with 4. along with Spain and Germany won 4.
USA 3G 1S 4B = 8 ==> 44G 13S 41B = 98
NED 3G 0S 1B = 4 ==> 37G 0S 13B = 50
The Dutch had won or medaled in many events where many medals were handed out eg won the men's Quad Sculls, the women's Coxless 4, women's Coxless Pairs, the 4x400m Mixed relay (5 golds), Cycling Men's Team Sprint (3) women's sailing 49FX (2) and 6 individual gold medal events. But also minor medals like silver in women's Quad Sculls, Rowing Men's eights - cox gets medal as well so 9, etc,
I will do Oz and NZ in a separate post.
