Exactly, I had this same conversation with an Australian last week. He was saying Australia "cleans up" at the summer olympics while Canada struggles, and if you average out the medal counts between Canada and Australia for both summer and winter games Australia would kick Canada's ass. The stupid amount of swimming event pads Australia's medal counts.
