With a land mass of only 21sq miles [smaller than many American ranches!] and a 2008 population of only 60,000; which only 45,000 are Bermudians and hence able to represent Bermuda in the Olympics, it is obviously impossible for Bermuda to ever produce massess of world champions.

Over 80 nations have never won an Olympic medal, all but three being far larger than Bermuda...many with populations numbering in the millions.

Bermuda marked it's place in history by becoming the smallest nation ever to win an Olympic medal.

Boxer Clarence Hill won a bronze medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Although Bermuda's tiny size makes this analogy quite offbase, as shown by this map the highest per million Olympic medal count is 1.5 per million.

For amusements sake, if one applies those same statistics to Bermuda - we obliterate those standings as our 1976 population would have given us the statistic of an amazing 20 medals per million, over 10 times higher than the next nation ever in Olympic history.

Not really applicable, no, but an interesting analogy.

Per that reasoning, the USA would need to win 6,400 medals in an Olympic game to do what Bermuda did in 1976.

Katura Horton-Perinchief was the first black female diver in history to ever qualify and compete in an Olympics Games.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Katura competed in the Women's 3m Springboard Diving competition.

Bermuda, at 21sq miles, not only does not have an Olympic sized swimming pool, it does not have any diving facilities either - but this didn't stop a Bermudian from cementing hers, and Bermuda's place in Olympic history.
