The bar chart presents the performance efficiency of eight nations at the 2024 Paris Olympics, measured by the number of medals won per million inhabitants, accompanied by their total medal counts.

Grenada demonstrates exceptional efficiency with 15.76 medals per million inhabitants, despite securing only 2 medals in total. Dominica follows with 13.63 medals per million inhabitants, earning 1 medal, while Saint Lucia achieves 11.06 medals per million with 2 medals overall.

New Zealand exhibits a notably different pattern, achieving 3.80 medals per million inhabitants with a substantial total of 20 medals. Bahrain and Jamaica display similar ratios of 2.67 and 2.12 medals per million respectively, though their total medal counts differ at 4 and 6 medals.

Australia and the Netherlands, despite their significant total medal hauls of 53 and 34 respectively, show lower per-capita performances at 1.99 and 1.92 medals per million inhabitants. This data illustrates how smaller nations can demonstrate remarkable efficiency in Olympic performance relative to their population size.
