The percentages of Ami medalists (top-three winners) in Taiwanese national track-and-field games from 1957 to 2005 are disproportional to the mere 0.6–0.8% population of Ami in Taiwan [41]. Each datum point is the percentage of Ami male medalists among all male winners in a 5-year timeframe (i.e., the datum point at 2000 represents the number from 5-year compilation from 1996 to 2000). The “Sprints” section includes 5 types of games—100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 100 m hurdles, and 400 m hurdles. For each datum point in the “Sprints” section, the denominator is 75 (3 medalists/type × 5 types × 5 years). The same rationale applied for the calculation of other sections specified in the graph. The “Middle-Distance” section includes 800 m, 1500 m, and 3000 m steeplechase. The “Jumps” section includes long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault. The “Total” encompasses statistics from the four sections—Sprints, Middle-Distance, Jumps, and Decathlon.
