How is "medals per capita" a useful metric? A 10x bigger country isn't entitled to send 10x as many athletes, and it's probably impossible to field a team that's 10x as likely to win as the average national Olympic team. Also, that measure puts Saint Kitts and Nevis at #7 in the world for having won a single gold medal—ever.

I can argue to the same effect that Baseball is equally, if not more, boring .. however, nice bit of research there for us on the advantages of sleeping pills over cricket.
and as far as the medals go, we're atleast not last ;)

Here's what you need to know about Cricket: Sleeping pills are cheaper, pleasanter, and won't bore others.
