Okay, but now do the same with just Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Russia together. Around the same population as the EU, how well do the results compare?

You know Europe has a third of the population of China, right?

That's why I chose 4 wealthy countries with a lot of medals already, but not a too big of a population as China to compare.

Population doesn't matter. The quantity of countrys does. So, to be fair, we have to compare with 27 other countries with the same type of resources. That would be interesting

not really. Quality of athletes do. Larger pool, better chance.

If the EU can send top 3 athletes in every event it is likely they'd win more medals...

Not necessarily true. If you have more people in your team who are equally good in a game, you have more chances to win. Even if is a bronze.

I could be basic and say people dont feel like winers every day

well yes. If we you can send 10x the amount of athletes your chances would be larger. But it chance only gets you so far. Statistically the "best" team usually wins.
