congrats Korean basketball team. I always thought they were a team of losers. I had no idea Korea had 1 billion people or that Japan had 730 million people. Does anyone know population statistics for Asian countries? I only know China's (1.2 billion). I am guessing Korea and Japan's population on basis of their medals won. Korea had 84% of the medals China had and Japan 61%. So I multiplied these percentages by 1.2 billion and got these numbers (1 billion for Korea and 730 million for Japan). Can someone tell me if these are correct? There's a humongous dropoff after 1-2-3, no?
China about 1.3+ billion (No one knows exactly) S.Korea around 47million. N.Korea 22 million. Japan around 127 million. http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/social/population.htm
This match was dramatic. I thought they lost for sure when they were down by 7pts on last minute of the game (40 secs left) After a layup, a steal then 3 pointer, they cut down lthe ead to 2 points. Chinese player got fouled and went to line for 2 free throws (I think he was guard) and missed both free throw. If he made both free throw, game over no matter what Korea do. 2 consecutive come from behind victory for S.Korea bball team.
