New Zealand beats Australia in the Olympics medal tally

The per capita statistics from NationMaster has New Zealand at #11 just ahead of Australia at #12 on the all-time Summer Olympics medal tally (see previous post).

It is not just that New Zealand beat Australia, with 116 countries listed it is that New Zealand just beat Australia that I find so interesting.

Herman from Belgium (producer of a brilliant set of small flags that I use) also has a table setting out the recent results (for 2008 he combines Beijing and Torino).
