ok to correct myself i forgot team events, but how many medals are awarded for team events i presume its like 10% without checking
Yes, Nappy.
A EU unified team would certainly get less medals in team sports like handball, football... where only one team per Olympic committee is allowed.
But this is balanced by other team sports where the team score is the sum of individual athletes performances (gymnastic, relays, horse riding...) In those sports, a unified team would get more medals, including more Gold medals.
For instance, a European relay in athletics or swimming would do better than any individual European relay team would.
but its just a bit of fun at the end of the day, if you don't want to predict don't play
Exactly, and the tone of some bashers' reaction to this kind of game is typical of how uncomfortable and insecure they are with their own vain nationalism.
