relation between government sport-spending and olympic medals?

[aOOa]

Anybody have any stats on the account of sport spending in the countries that have won the biggest number of medals in The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games? Is there any relation here?

All I've found is this wiki stats "2009 United States federal budget":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_United_States_federal_budget

And I can't find any sport-spending in the "2009 United States federal budget". Does this mean that government of the USA does not spend money on sport at all? Also what about other countries that have top-notch results:

United States
Germany
Canada
Norway
Austria
Russian Federation
Korea
China
Sweden
France

Due to the different structures, it's difficult to compare it.
Germany invest about 5-6bn US Dollar a year.

For this Winter Olympics the USA spent roughly $55 million over four years.

The vast majority of our Olympic athletes don't get very much help to be honest. We used to have the Home Depot partnership that offered them jobs and allowed them to take long furloughs to train, compete, etc. but the recession killed the program last year.

Our speedskating team was supportedin part by fans of Steven Colbert who each sent in $1. I believe in total $300,000 was raised in order toffset the amount the team lost in sponsorship from some Dutch bank that went bankrupt.

Of course there are execptions. Our men's hockey team are all millionaires, Julia Mancuso's convicted drug lord father paid for much of her training, Shaun White is not exactly struggling to pay the bills, etc.

Canada has never really sponsored our team through the government. I think the Own The Podium progam cost $140 million. I'm not sure. We spent billions of dollars on the olympics. We also had a home team advantage. So housing and accomodations were already there for our athletes. Travel wasn't expensive. Plus every company in Canada was supporting an athlete and advertising the **** oout of it.

In Britain, Athletes aren't funded by the government but by charities (or whatever they are) suck as UK sport and Sport Scotland. When I did a lot of open water swimming I was funded by a North East Scotland sports body and even though I wasn't olympic level material the basic idea goes right up the chain. The government directly doesn't pay for it here and America could well be the same.
