In 2012, when Cuba was ranked 30th for team size, it came in 14th for overall medals won. Back then, Canada placed 24th in terms of medals per athlete, earning about one medal for every 15 athletes. When it comes to the Olympics, size matters. In 2008, it came in 149th for size, but 10th for overall medals won. It’s a tough goal — in the London 2012 Olympics, Canada ranked 13th overall.
