Introduction
The Olympic Games is a significant international multi-sport event where athletes from more than 200 nations compete against each other in different sports since 1896. They are divided into the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics. One of the most crucial metrics of success in the Olympics is the number of medals a country wins. Medals are awarded to athletes who finish in the top three positions in their respective events. Then, countries with a high number of medals are considered successful in the Olympics. The number of Olympic medals by country is often used to compare the sporting achievements of different nations.
When it comes to ranking countries based on their Olympic medal count, some countries might become an issue. The Soviet Union is a notable example. Dissolved in 1991, the USSR competed in the Olympics from 1952 to 1988 and won a total of 1,204 medals, making it the second most successful country in Olympic history. However, since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its medals have been divided among several countries that emerged from its territory. As a result, the ranking of countries based on their Olympic medal count can be somewhat skewed, and it becomes challenging to compare the performances of countries across different Olympic eras.
