Which Country Has the Most Olympic Medals—and Whose Are Worth the Most?

(via mental_floss)  Ahead of the opening ceremony for 2016 Rio Olympics on August 5, how do the gold, silver, and bronze medal collections of the top competing countries stack up? In collaboration with Bullion Vault, Screaming Frog has created an infographic that shows where 50 countries stand in terms of medal count—and the value of all that hardware in U.S. dollars.   The graphic illustrates the winningest countries in order of total medal count. The United States currently sits on top with a pre-Rio count of 2403 medals (around 16 percent of the total medals won in the world), while Georgia rounds out the top 50 with 25 awards.
