The IOC publishes no lists of medals per country, but
the media sleepiness does. A comparison between countries
would be made dishonest opposite countries with less
inhabitants, thus some calculations by the medals per
number of inhabitants, as for the Olympic Games by 2004
and for a few more. A problem hereby is that for a quite
small country, but the obtaining of a medal would be
able to mean by the difference between the top and the
underside of the list (a point is illustrated through
the Bahama's' per head of the population a number position
in 2004). At the other side, a large country its possible
not in state round a number of athletes that proportionally
is on its size, because a limit have been started for
the number of participants per country for a particular
sport.
A comparison of the total number of medals the course
of the time becomes yet more intricately through the
fact that the number turn that the land participated,
is not equal be, and that many countries won and lost
command from where the medal-winning athletes. A point
has been participated stopped in the case of the Soviet
Union, that not only relative rarely (18 turn, opposite
45 turn for the VK), but also to consist in 1991. The
resulting Russian Federation is is largely, but not
totally equal at the former Soviet Union. Also will
a to use population statistics on the moment.
The IOC medal count graphics has been based on the
number of golden medals for the country. Where states
equal be, the number of silver medals (and then bronze
medals) be bred to fix ranglijst. Since 1996 are the
only countries that are appeared in the top 10 medal
votes for the summer the Olympic Games its the Russian
Federation, the United States, China, France, Germany,
Australia and Italy. Since 1994, the only countries
that are appeared in the top 10 medal votes for the
winter Olympic Games its Norway, the Russian Federation,
the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, South-Korea,
Switzerland, France and Italy.
