2 SPORTS GEOGRAPHY THE BEIJING GAMES GOING FOR GOLD THE BEIJING GAMES Going for gold Dr. Grant Kleeman Macquarie University, Sydney Overview In this activity we focus on global inequalities in sporting achievement as measured by the medal tally at successive Summer Olympic Games Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and now, Beijing In doing so we have an opportunity to develop our understanding of global inequalities and practice a range of geographical skills including: the interpretation of column and line graphs, choropleth maps, proportional circle graphs, pie graphs and semi-logarithmic graphs. Rationale Geographers have always been interested in the spatial patterns that occur across the earth s surface. Of particular interest are the enormous variations in the quality of life experienced by people living in different parts of the world. In trying to understand and explain these differences, countries are often classified as either developed or developing. Geographers use a range of indicators to classify countries using these categories. These indicators include Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, the United Nation s Human Development Index (HDI), life expectancy, fertility rates, infant mortality, access to clean water and sanitation, and a range of health and education-related indicators. These data, compiled by various international bodies, can be mapped to identify spatial patterns or graphed to determine relationships between individual indicators. The question at the core of this activity is the extent to which sporting success, as measured by the medal tally at an Olympic Games, is related to a nation s population and/or level of development or wealth. Key questions include: Which countries and regions of the world are the most successful in winning medals at the Summer Olympic Games? Do countries with larger populations win more medals? Do the world s developed countries win more medals than developing countries? Introduction While the International Olympic Committee (IOC) discourages the ranking of countries according to the number of medals won at either the Summer or Winter Olympic Games, many media organisations seek to turn the games into an international contest by publishing daily tallies of medals won. These data are now readily available on the internet. The competition between nations for Olympic glory reached a peak during the Cold War when the Olympic Games became a defacto battleground for the competing ideologies of capitalism and communism. During this era vast resources were poured into sporting programs by some countries with the goal being greater international recognition and prestige through sporting success. Constructing such medal tallies is not, however, as straightforward as it might seem. Simply adding up and publishing the number of medals won by specific countries ignores the great variations in the populations from which winning athletes are drawn and wealth available to support and promote sporting achievement. In crude terms, the United States came out on top at the 2004 Athens games, with 36 gold medals, followed by China (32) and Russia (27) (see Table 1). Obviously, countries with large populations tend to do well because the sheer weight of numbers inevitably produces athletes with exceptional ability. There are, of course, always exceptions to this generalisation. Australia, with only 21 million people, was ranked fourth with 17 gold medals while India with a population of a billion won just a single silver medal. The Bahamas with fewer than 300,000 people came out well ahead on a population per medal basis, followed by Norway, Australia, Hungary and Cuba (see Table 2). The USA ranked 34th, Russia 23rd, the UK 29th, Canada 37th and China 51st. So population size alone is not a good predictor of Olympic success. The relationship between gold medal tallies and population size is examined in Table 2 and Figure 5. 1
3 THE BEIJING GAMES GOING FOR GOLD SPORTS GEOGRAPHY THE BEIJING GAMES 2 What about wealth then? Modern sport requires a lot of expensive infrastructure stadiums, swimming pools, velodromes, etc in order for national success to be achieved. So while athletes from developing countries find success on the track, especially in middle and long-distance running dominated by countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya, there were few non- European athletes wining medals in the pool or in canoeing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, rowing, shooting and yachting events. On the other hand, Asian competitors tend to dominate in some sports, especially badminton and table tennis, and the various martial arts disciplines such as judo and archery. Even in this instance it tends to be the industrialised Asian nations of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan that dominate. While there does appear to be a link between wealth and the distribution of medals there are, again, some notable exemptions. Switzerland, one of the world s wealthiest countries, could only manage a single gold medal, while tiny Luxembourg, which enjoys the world s highest per capita national income, could not manage a medal of any type. Then there are those countries which excel in winter sports rather than those featured in the Summer Olympics. The relationship between gold medal tallies and national (and regional) wealth is examined in Figures 6 and 7, and in Table 3. One way of taking into account both population size and income is to divide the number of medals won by national income per head, when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). So how can we tell who has done well, adjusted for size and income? Just dividing medals by total national income does not say much, because that does not account for population size. One answer is to use national income per head, adjusted for purchasing power parity. This is the measure of the relative purchasing power of different countries currencies for the same types of goods and services. When we divide the number of gold medals won by an country s individual national income, we establish a point of comparison that takes into account cost of living differences between the wealthy and the less well off but which does not penalise large developing countries. It also accommodates the different performances between the wealthy countries. This approach reveals a number of interesting results. China, rather than the USA, tops the medal tally the country s immense population size more than compensating for its relatively low income. Cuba s modest population size (11.4 million) and relatively low income highlights what an achievement its nine gold, seven silver and eleven bronze medals - mostly won in Olympic boxing - really is. The same goes for Ethiopia (2 gold) and Kenya (1 gold). The gold medal haul of USA (36) and Australia (17) remains impressive by any measure and demonstrates the extent to which a national obsession with sporting achievement can fuel Olympic success. Preparation and introductory activities Before beginning this study students should be familiar with a range of development related concepts including development, spatial inequality, infrastructure, purchasing power per capita and demography, and possess a general awareness of the global pattern of social and economic wellbeing. This awareness can be achieved by having students study atlas maps showing a range of development related indicators including: GNI per capita, the UN s Human Development Index (an index combining indicators of real purchasing power, education, and health), life expectancy, total fertility, infant mortality, education, access to clean water and sanitation and human rights, including the status of women and minorities. Students also need to consider the factors likely to affect sporting success in the Olympic Games. This can be achieved by having the class complete the following activity: Activity Study Figure 1. As a class, discuss the factors affecting sporting success in Olympic competition. Can you identify any additional factors? Which of the factors listed do you think are the most important? Be prepared to justify your choice. The data required for the activities included with this study are presented on the following pages.

These can be provided by governments and/or the corporate sector through grants, sponsorship agreements and donations. Climate: Cold climate countries dominate the Winter Olympics, but do not feature so prominently when it comes to the medal tally at the Summer Olympic Games. Temperate and warm climates favour other sports. For example, Australia s strength in swimming and other water-based sports can, at least in part, be explained by the country s climate and beach culture The race for Olympic gold National identity: The relationship between sport and national identity is, in some instances, very strong. Americans and Australians, for example, are often seen as being sports obsessed. The sporting culture of such countries is seen as being central to the way its people see themselves collectively and portray their society to the world Culture: Some sports are closely linked to the culture of a particular nation or region. For example, table tennis is closely associated with China, basketball and baseball with the USA, swimming with Australia and the USA, boxing with Cuba, gymnastics with Eastern European countries, and long-distance running with Ethiopia and Kenya. 3 Table 1: Top five gold medal-winning nations 1988 to 2004 Seoul 1988 Barcelona 1992 Atlanta 1996 Sydney 2000 Athens 2004 Beijing USSR Russia* USA USA USA 2 East Germany USA Russia Russia China 3 USA Germany Germany China Russia 4 South Korea China China Australia Australia 5 West Germany Cuba France Germany Japan * competing as the Unified Team (former USSR)

11 THE BEIJING GAMES GOING FOR GOLD SPORTS GEOGRAPHY THE BEIJING GAMES 10 Drawing the lesson together Having completed these activities students should be able to identify the countries and regions of the world that are the most successful in wining medals at the Summer Olympic Games. They should be able to respond in an informed way to the suggestion that countries with larger populations and greater wealth win more gold medals. They should, however, also appreciate that there are dangers in making sweeping generalisations regarding the relationship between Olympic success and factors such as population size and wealth. There are, as noted in the Introduction, some important exceptions to this generalisation. It should also be apparent that the gold medal domination of the traditional sporting superpowers has waned at little since the 1960s and that the world s changing political geography is mirrored in Olympic competition. Ideas for follow-up Extension activity 1 Access the International Olympic Committee (IOC) website following the Beijing Games and add the relevant data to the tables and graphs included in this study. Using GDP per capita US$ PPP data from the UN Human Development Report , construct your own semi-logarithmic graph using Figure 5 or Figure 7 as a model. Having completed these tasks, determine whether the trends identified in this study are confirmed by the data generated from the competition in Beijing. Extension activity 2 Investigate the extent to which the growth in the number of countries participating in the Summer Olympic Games (see Figure 2a) and the changes in the countries dominating the top five positions of the gold medal tally (see Table 1) reflect the world s geopolitical changes in the late twentieth century. Extension activity 4 This activity will suit older or more able students, particularly those who work quickly with handling data. Hand out Activity Resource Sheet D6: Supplementary data. Organise students in groups of two to three and tell them that you would like them to do the following: 1. Devise two hypotheses that will test the relationship between any two of the variables in the table, i.e. gold medal tally, GDP per capita (US$ PPP) and population. 2. Produce scatter graphs, complete with lines of best fit, to illustrate the relationships. 3. Using these graphs, test whether the hypotheses are accepted or not. 4. Write up the investigation individually using these headings aim of the investigation, method used, presentation of results and conclusion. 5. Consider what other data might help to find out more about testing your hypotheses further. Ideas for assessment Students can be assessed on their ability to interpret the types of graphs and maps included in this Olympic Games-based activity. Teachers can also generate additional questions using the stimulus material featured. Questioning, discussion and written tasks can be used to ascertain the level of student understanding and evaluate the general effectiveness of the activity.
