For instance, here are Romney and Obama’s results from 5/30/2012, here are Romney and Obama’s results from 4/16/2012, and here are the republican primary candidates from 12/29/2011.

Canada is incredible. They somehow managed to win 18 total medal and only 1 gold. Amazing. How is it possible to be so consistently nearly the best? Has anyone ever won more medals with fewer golds? Cheers.
