“Iran only sent 53 athletes to the 2012 Olympic Games. Compare that with the United States’ 530 athletes, or China’s 396, and you’ll appreciate Iran’s accomplishment… Iranians won a medal for every 4.4 athletes they sent to the Olympics…The Chinese won a medal for every 4.6 athletes they sent to the Olympics, and the U.S. won a medal for every 5.1 American athletes competing.” (Source)
