They are tied with China and one gold medal ahead of USA.

Of course in total medal count the USA and China have a lot more but its still impressive.

It's very highly populated, not compared to the USA or China but those are fairly extreme when it comes to pop size

A "small island" with a whoooooooole lot of people packed into it. Really dumb topic and really dumb gimmick.

I believe you were asked to refrain from making topics, particularly for reasons like this one.

Japan is the 11th most populous country in the world. Yes, by population it's doing disproportionately well compared to China, but as Olympics competitions are won by people and not acreage, it's a bit irrelevant to talk about how much landmass they have. In the context of talent pool, it's pretty far from small.

1) Japan is NOT a small island. It's basically the side of the East Coast of the U.S. and is stupidly heavily populated.

2) Putting that aside, being an island nation has nothing to do with how well you are at sports. They're winning through hard work.

The moon isn't technically an island as it has never been colonized by Europe

Japan (just Honshu, the main island) is roughly the size of the entire east coast of the US. It also has a bigger economy than Germany and more than 125,000,000 people in it. Japan is only small if you have absolutely 0 sense of scale of the world in literally any capacity.
