Victorians excel at sport. We have 50% of the winter olymic gold medals, about 25% of the socceroo players for the last year. Australias best basketball player and also the best ever basketball player. Current olympic pole vault champion, we could even claim Cathy Freeman who has spent most of her life in Melbourne. I think I good way to go would be to look at the current batch of Australian olympicans (just look at the team going to London this year) and work out the percentage of Victorians if it is less then 20% you may have a point. Anyone want to look this up??

Victoria only have about 10% of the current olympic squad (squad looks less then half full atm) So this is not a good sign to me. About 40% are Qld so far. Will reserve my judgement on this to when the team is full.
