Echoes of Falklands success at Guernsey Games leave Isle of Wight “grumpy”
The archery team celebrating their stunning vicgtory
Echoes of Falklands’ great performance at the Islands Games recently held in Guernsey. In an opinion piece written in the Island of Wight, sports reporter Warren Whitmore appeared a little bit irritated that the Falkland Islands outperformed them.
In the piece, Mr Whitmore conducted some statistical analysis on the Isle of Wight’s medal winning compared to other islands.
The Isle of Wight came fifth in the medal table but had the largest population at 141,538 and Mr Whitmore equated this to one medal per 3,725 inhabitants.
Therefore, with some juggling of the numbers, the Falkland Islands achieved, roughly, one medal per 948 inhabitants.
At the recent Guernsey Games, Falklands took, one gold medal (archery), two silver and one bronze.
