re: Is there are more dumb way to judge Olympic success than medals per capita?

What would be your proposed way of measuring Olympic success then? Obviously total medal count is flawed too since bigger countries like China and the US are going to get more medals than Belgium or Poland. The per capita thing at least adjusts for that a little bit even though as you pointed out it isn't perfect

Honestly, I think only the big countries care about total medal counts so the argument is sort of moot. The smaller countries know they'll never compete for total medals, so they instead focus their attention to consistent success at specific events
