It's official: Israelis aren't losers

Everyone's talking about Israel's Olympic Gold medal -- but no one has noticed Israel's other Olympic achievement. According to this website, which is logging every athlete who comes last in an event, Israel is one of very few countries yet to produce a real loser!

(Topping the list of countries coming last is China with 6, Poland and Greece with 5 each, and Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Switzerland, France, Australia and the US with 4. Two of the PA's 4 athletes, by the way, also came in last. But for them, at least, I guess it really is the taking part that counts).
