That would be biased in a different way, that's all. 100 olympic-grade atheletes from a population of 500M isn`t the same as 100 olympic-grade athletes from a population of 5M. I can`t think of a fair way to make a comparison. As you point out, this method is heavily biased in favour of small populations. For example, if the USA had won every gold medal they still wouldn`t have had a gold medals per capita figure as high as the quite of few of the countries on this list.
