Well generally the idea is less people it will equate to less talent, and the more people its generally easier to find more talent. Since all those countries have low populations it is more likely to find less talent, which means they won't be as good. There are exceptions but these are seldom exceptions, majority of the time thats how it is.

The worst would definately have to be FYROM.
It was great to watch the opening ceremonies and seeing 4 amateurs being introduced as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and carrying a Japanese looking flag!!

Albanian weightlifter fails doping test

Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku has been sent home from the Olympics in disgrace after failing a doping test.
IOC director of communications Mark Adams said the Albanian lifter had tested positive for a banned steroid five days ago.
"So it's here, for stanozolol, and he has had his part in the Olympic Games taken away from him so he has been sent home," Adams said.
Adams said Pulaku's accreditation was immediately cancelled and withdrawn and his file sent to the International Weightlifting Federation to consider further action.
The US Anti-Doping Agency will also be sent information "in order to further investigate the circumstances surrounding this case ... for it to follow up accordingly," Adams said.
"It's always a sad day when a cheater is caught.
"We hope there will be no more but the message is very clear: if you're doping we're gonna catch you."
Adams said it was expected that 5,000 tests will be carried out in London - comprising 3,800 urine and 1,200 blood tests - and the program will include all medallists.
"No one can think they can get away," he said.
