>>Say the US were to win 100 medals at the Summer Games. Statistically speaking, how many medals would Canada be expected to win?
>
>Statistically speaking as in based on a population ratio? It seems like a meaningless calculation if you don't include all the other factors. For sure Canada does a lot better in the Winter Olympics than the Summer ones.

And if the population ration is the only consideration, then how many medals would China need to get? They are doing a good job in leading in Gold medals so far...

This link shows the count (not sure it's up to date) but not the sport so it doesn't give anything away:
