#5 Phelps is 14 million times more likely to win a medal than anybody in India

As appalling as that sounds, the fact is true. Including the events that took place in Rio, India has the same number of medals as Michael Phelps, and that is 28. Out of these 28, the South-East Asian country has won 9 gold medals, while Phelps has won 23.
Hence, India has won one gold medal for every 50 million citizens. As calculated by Fox Sports, it would make him 14 million times more likely to win a medal than anybody in India.
Considering India is the second largest nation in the world and ignoring the fact that the country is still developing in the field of sport, it is fascinating that Michael Phelps surpassed not just the second largest nation but also many nations alike, probably without having the faintest of ideas about it.
