Athletes per Country Competing in the Olympics11,028 athletes participated in the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing.2,629 athletes participated in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.Just a handful of countries send more than 100 athletes to the game. The United States sent 596 athletes to Beijing and 215 to Vancouver.When you consider all countries participating in the games (204 countries in Beijing and 82 in Vancouver), the large majority of them are small countries that only send 5 athletes or less. So calculating the average number of athletes sent by each country, you would get a small number.
