One of the reasons that they bombed top universities. There are a few things that stand out .
1- Not Asingle Arab speaking country in the top 30.
2- Startng with India and the ending with Iran, all of the countries in this bucket , you could say second tier, have no more than two gold medals.
3- Brazil, Canada, and Romania have a higher standing with zero or less gold medals than Iran.
4- Look at team USA
5- Why is Russia ranked below the US With four gold and two silver if the rankings are based on an aggregate total
Congratulations Iran!
