Maybe, but the former USSR has everyone beat.

Anglo-Saxonia (USA, UK, NZ, AU, CA) destroys the Soviets.

Correct. A quick add comes up with ~ 91 medals from all former USSR countries.

Imagine what it will be like when China finally splits apart.

FReegards!

This would take alot of research; but, I suspect that the number of athletes from all the old Soviet nations also has everyone beat....and there are more opportunities to win medals.

For example, if the US were to split into two nations, we could field an additional basketball team, and win another medal...could field two more beach volleyball teams, could field an additional men and women volleyball team....have an additional gymnast in each individual event.

So, I’m not sure its a fair comparison to just add up the medal count from the old Soviet nations...unless the medals are in different events.
