Interesting. China has almost double the amount of gold medals, but also 30 times South Korea's population. Japan would be the second most succesful at sports if we go by gold medals per person.

Olympic Games mean nothing. Japanese are infinitely superior than Koreans.
Gica, do you like sports? thats good to know
Many asian countries do well in Olympics, but Korean pop culture is out-dated, I recommend you L`arc en ciel if interested in asian rock music. Try this one from 1990s:風の行方(The trail of wind)
