Average Olympic Medals Won Per Million Inhabitants

This map illustrates the average number of medals won per million people in an Olympic Summer Games between 1996 and 2004. Medal counts from the last three Olympic Games were used primarily due to the fact that participating nations have remained relatively unchanged during this time period. (Prior to 1996, the former Soviet Union teams participated as one team.) Below is the data used to create the map. Be sure to also check out our other maps.
