Olympic "Performance Rating"

The 2012 Olympics are done, the last race is run.  How did your country go?  Some punched above their weight, others disappointed. Australia's performance was in the latter category.  Interested to see how poorly they did relative to other nations I devised a crude way of evaluating the performance of nations. 

Points:

Gold = 3
Silver = 2
Bronze = 1

The first table below gives the rank by total points and the second table takes the points and divides them by the total number of athletes giving rise to my "performance rating" (China, which tops the second table = 100%).  (Note: To save time, only countries with at least one gold have been considered.)
