Hellenic success at 2016 Olympics

looking at and comparing the figures re gold medals there can only be one explanation. I am using Greece as an example and comparing their performance with that of Japan, Germany, Portugal and Sweden. The Greek state is dealing with a huge financial crisis. There Olympians received no financial support from the state yet they performed better than any of the powerful states I mention. G

Gold medals.         Population

Greece.    3.           10 million
Japan.     12.          125 million
Germany 17.          80 million
Portugal 0.              10

Wonder how the spin doctors of the West will spin this one around? In my books the Greek success has a lot to do with that special spirit the Greeks have and will never lose!
