Athletes per Country Competing in the Olympics

11,028 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.

What is the difference between the Olympics games and the commonwealth games?

The only real difference is the countries that are invited to participate. All countries that have a National Olympic Committee may send athletes to the Olympic Games. All countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations or are a territory of a member of the Commonwealth of Nations may send athletes to the Commonwealth Games. There are a few sports competed in the Commonwealth Games that are not competed in the Olympics (lawn bowls, squash, and netball).
