Per capita doesn't matter like you may think it might- there can only be so many good athletes in a country. Finland is just best at finding good athletes and getting them on their Olympic team.

Whilst having a larger pool of people to chose from means you have more chance of finding a medal winning athlete nations are still limited in how many entries they can have, a country could have the 3 best athletes in the world in a particular event but if they can only enter 2 in a particular event then it's not really a true reflection of things, so ratio per capita doesn't mean much.
 
The Finns are just good at throwing sticks. I'm sure a lot of their medals are for javelin.
