These facts stand out about the Olympics:

- Phelps has won more Olympic medals in his career than India in all Olympics

- Jamaica won 2 medals at women's 100m a few minutes go. Bolt still has to go. Why Jamaica?

- The United States has heavily relied on its dominance in swimming, racking up 23 of its 37 medals in the pool.

- Kazakhstan has 5 medals, all gold! Four in weightlifting. Population is barely 16 million

Will be interested to find more
