The Bahamas, with one medal for every 153, 725 people, has won what is arguably the true contest of the Games -- the medals per capita tally. This is the Bahamas's second straight per capita Olympics title. We're talking about a dynasty, people.

Just as England once lived under the Tudor, China once lived under the Ming and the American League East once lived under the Torre, we earthlings live under a dynasty these days.

It’s a benevolent dynasty, the Bahamas dynasty -- they do let us come visit their islands and serve us drinks with tiny umbrellas sticking out of them -- until it comes to the quadrennial test known as the Olympics, when they fluster the rest of us again.

See here for the full medals per capita rankings.
