Taught me so much, thanks man!

BADMINTON FOR INDONESIA

A winter olympics edition would be nice, too.

Honestly, I think the threshold for an event to be counted should be 25, not 15. Also, I think a 4/2/1 system would work better.

What they haters gon say now ⁉️⁉️⁉️

dude you're amazing for doing all this work!! awesome job

Iceland should be athletics, no? One triple jump medal, one pole vault medal and one judo medal?

The Korean women’s handball team was a very good team back in the day getting to the semifinals 8 times in a row and winning back to back in 88’ and 92’, their dominance can also be seen in the Asian games where Korea has 7/9 golds on the women’s side and the men’s side has 6/11

As a Dane I've always felt this weird kinship with South Korea; we just seem to enjoy all of the same sports. Whenever I see a Korean competitor on the other side of the court my thought are basically: "Oh no, not these guys again!" Much love from Denmark <3

Not sure why you had Tennis for South Africa. South Africa has had 6 Medals for tennis. But we have had way more medals in Athletics, Swimming and boxing. Boxing has had 19 medals. Swimming 20 and Athletics 28.

Slovenia never won a tennis medal and here is most successful in it?

When looking at handball, you have Korea, Egypt, Brasil being the biggest countries playing handball outside of Europe. Korea in particular excels in female handball while it got a silver medal in the 80's or in the 90's (I don't remember)in the men competition, but got overruled by European powerhouses ever since

Gold > total medals because Silver is the first loser. That’s why Kosovo is above Ukraine: They just have 2 winners, Ukraine 1

I believe wrestling or shooting would be sport for India, I don't know how you reached to badminton.

Zimbabwe winning Olympic gold for Women's Hockey was quite cool

As a Canadian I am also not surprised our best summer Olympic sport is rowing. I took a guess before the video started and thought it would be!

Disagree, Gold is more important than Silver and Bronze. The medal table should represent Olympic champions not the two best LOSERS.

Oceania is not a continent. It is a region

Awesome work, awesome content. Only 1 thing I wanna say, I feel it's a little unfair to cut out all former soviet medals rather than giving it to the athletes who won it. Say a Belarussian won under the soviet union in 1980, it should be listed under Belarus. It's too many years cut out, I'm sure this doesn't apply to West Germany, and it results in Russia's Gymnastics successes being ignored as well as others. That's all

Can we see a map for the winter Olympics

Impressive job. Well done and explained.

an american disliking the IOC's gold-prioritized ranking? colour me shocked 😅 yalls media literally the only ones in the world doing it differently so US makes #1 more often

Your "opinions" suck

Great video! The patterns can be hard to identify on small countries, though. I also agree very strongly that only ranking by gold medal is silly and probably due to general laziness as it is easier to sort a table that way. However. total medals may be better but is still not really good as 10 bronze would rank as better than 9 golds. So, as many have stated, a 3-2-1 would have been best. Ofc, just to complicate matters, then you should really take shared medals into account, e.g. if both losing semifinalists get a bronze that is 0,5p etc.

Bulgaria has 230 olympic medals but our most successful one is def weightlifting(37 medals) and high jump(holding the world record for 37 years)

Why is gold models better than total medals? Let me help you Mr American. Who won the most Super Bowls? Now who lost the Super Bowl the most? Is the team the came 2nd 10 times better than the team that actually won the thing at least once? You are welcome. O wait I see you are Canadian, good thing I didn't assume your gender

Great work, thank you

i thought poland was more succesfull in volleyball, after this olympics they are rightly so, we had very good representation in last 20 or maybe even 30 years but always hadnt had luck in olympics i feel like

I think the best is to give 1 point to bronze two to silver and 4 to gold

1:27 turning off the vid

Another thing to think about is historical vs recent performances Historically the US has the most rowing/canoe/kayak medals, but in the last 4 olympics, it is New Zealand who has dominated it, same for Australia and swimming

This just got recommended by the algorithm to me and I must salute you for the interesting video. As most of the pople watching it I was curious about my own country and I got surprised by seeing that Sailing was the most successful sport category for Portugal, I didn't know this because it has been quite some time since we've had medals in sailing, I was imagining that Track & Field or Athletics would be the number 1. After the video I took a look at the spreadsheet and I noticed that Portugal didn't have any medals counted in Cycling, Canoeing and Athletics for example, now I know for a fact that we did have medals in those categories, prior to the making of the video, and that just in the Marathon specificaly Portugal as 3 medals and at least a couple more in the 10000 m. Thank you for the interesting video.

Argentinian here: yeah I was also surprised our most succesful sports are boxing and sailing. Also, wouldnt call it "unfair" at all, but there is something that doesnt click with me when a country has like 70 medals and 50 come from athletism, gimnastics or swimming. Like there is one for 100mts, 200, 400, multiple variants, mens, women, mixed... If your country is good at those disciplines, you have a top 5 position guaranteed.

You could also divide which sport every country is successful at by gender

Whats the point of gold medals if youre going to make each medal weigh the same? At least use a weighted medal system..

Ew, another guy on the internet discrediting winners because another country is better at not winning And it could've been such an interesting video

You could also have assigned a point system for each medal. 1P for Bronze 2P for Silver 4P for Gold Thats atleast the way how they should rank the countrys in my opinion.

I agree, total medals is better

I saw Greenland and was more surprised that they won a medal than that said medal was in sailing. Then I remembered Greenland is owned by Denmark.

Stopped watching when you decided to count via total medals instead of golds. Olympics count by gold, why would you do differently. Stupid idea.

everyone knows that the US sport would be tug-of-war if non-current sports are counted!

Maybe i didnt understood how you made your graph, because you list Mexico as being succesfull in soccer with 2 gold medals but Mexico most medals are in diving (15 total) boxing (13 total) and athletics (11 total)

Maybe next time do a list instead of map, easier to check the smaller countries

Very suprising that Brasil have more inclination to judo than sailing.

I agree that bronze and silver are important but ranking countries by gold absolutely does not “go against the spirit of the games” it’s literally ranking the events won

I was quite suprised by Czechia, as I thought we were better at canoeing.
