I was looking at the list a Olympic medals
and I'm not totally sure that our audience cares at all about Olympic
medal count right now this used to be like a huge source of pride in past
olympics
I would get many more emails about all the US has this number of medals
but per capita it's only this but here's where we rank their
right now Norway with 10 gold medals is leading
followed by Germany with eight the US with seven
and Russian Netherlands and Switzerland tied with six if we look at total medals
the US is ahead 23 medals
russia and Netherlands have 22 norway has 21 Canada
18 and Germany 16 I'm just not sure
whether people really care about the metals at all
and really our audience is not that interested in the Olympics at all this
time around we had a poll up on our website
12 percent of our audience as they care about the Olympics a lot
14 percent say they only care a little bit
this time around forty-three percent said no because they just don't care
about the Olympics at all
and then another twenty-three percent say that they
aren't watching specifically because they're boycotting Russia
I are you surprised by these numbers Louis how much do you care about the
medal count
don't care at all at the vast majority of the time
countries with the most participants are winning the most medals
and statistically of course that makes perfect sense
here okay it's a little bit different at the Winter Olympics in ya you have some
countries with
perhaps your participants doing really well
here countries better in the north and have a lot of people who partake in
winter sports
right your overall I'd really don't care
let me ask you this when you do you watch the Olympics does
your country whatever your country is just the number of medals your country
wins
affect how much you enjoy watching know usually I'm only watching
or I just I don't know
incredible pizza backed by this is a man named beings a bad nature
so I really don't care who wins I just biked to be impressed by people doing
incredible things
