i don't agree using the population size as argument, man.....india and china would have won all world cups / championships and olympics in the world then?

i was at the ski canada athlete nomination event about 3 weeks ago, i heard ski canada had very high expectations, and the chairman said at the podium "these fine athletes will help us win number one in this olympics". to be quite honest, i doubt if all associations are on the same page to thrive for success, based on the disparity of funding, talents, commitment they had.
