This does not include Gold medals from 2008 Olympics yet

01) USA - 972
02) Russia - 646 (includes USSR and Unified Team of 1992)
03) Germany - 502 (includes East Germany, West Germany and Unified
Team of Germany)
04) Italy - 218
05) France - 209
06) Great Britain - 196
07) Sweden - 195
08) Hungary - 156
09) Norway - 149
10) Finland - 141
11) Japan - 123
12) Australia - 120
13) China - 116

These are the only 13 countries who have 100 or more Gold medals in
total.

All the WW2 nations make it.

The Allies (USA, Russia, Great Britain and France) have a lot more
Gold medals than the Axies (Germany, Italy, Japan). Also the
Scandanavians (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland) have won
a bunch of Gold medals. If they ever unite as one country they will be
as high as #3 above Germany with 517 Gold medals.

USA, Russia and Germany are way ahead of the rest. Even if you go by
combined medals then... its the same

1) USA - 2404
2) Russia - 1666 (includes USSR and Unified Team of 1992)
3) Germany - 1547 (includes East Germany, West Germany and Unified
Team of Germany)

Well, at least, WW2 and WW1 played a lot of part in Germany's medal
count. They couldn't participate in many Olympics because of that.

Not too difficult, considering he's consistent.
