Gonzalo Peillat is an argentinean hockey player member of the team that won the gold medal in Rio 2016. In Paris 2024 he played for Germany and won a silver medal. He also converted the second goal on the quarter finals against Argentina when the score was 1 by 1. The match finished 2 for Germany 1 for Argentina sending Argentina out of the tournament.
Cool graphic (although as an Australian I’m offended 🙂).
But why make the colour of the medal borrower’s light yellow against a yellow background making it impossible to see?
Also, it’s impossible to read. Why not upload something higher res if it’s your own work?
I would assume the whole GB -> Ireland count is people born in Northern Ireland (like McIlroy) but competing for Rep. of Ireland
If that’s true then, speaking as an Englishman, it’s kind of bullshit to include them in the numbers
It’s a complicated situation and completely support them being given a personal choice of which team to turn out for
I don’t think that’s the best way to show this. I’m just looking into Serbia and Croatia’s relationship.
There are 2 people born in Croatia representing Serbia now, one is a shooter who has gold in mixed doubles (1 of 2 athletes) and one is a basketball player (1 of 12 athletes) who got bronze but here that shows like 2 medals going from Serbia to Croatia. Technically that would be like 58% of a medal.

I assume it’s similar across the board
