Kazakhstan ???
Im impressed how high they ranked.
I'd wager the total would increase significantly if you were to count those as American-won as well.
If you combined all of the former Soviet Republic (Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Estonia) medals, it would come out
47 Gold 44 Silver 73 Bronze 170 total
Another thing to keep in mind is that unlike nearly every other country, the U.S. Olympic Team is a private enterprise, funded almost entirely by corporate sponsors and private citizens (and lots of hard working parents).
wow, the formerr soviet union would have had 43 gold, 42 silver and 66 bronze. I miss the us-ussr competition.
GB did amazingly well, to come in 3rd, ahead of Russia and behind on the US and China, think of how much smaller their population is. Very good. Also, France, I’m impressed by their number of medals. Evenly distributed between G/S/B too. Vive le Egalite!
Our British cousins did very well, I see. Congrats!
A more accurate picture of the dominance is shown by using the typical dual track meet scoring of 5-3-1; gold is 5, silver is 3, bronze is 1.
U.S., 346; China, 293; Britain, 215...
