The New York Times has a bubble map that indicates by size how many medals a particular country has won so far in the Olympics. On top of that, it also depicts the medal distribution for past summer Olympics dating back to the first official Games in 1896.
It’s pretty cool.

I think the most interesting thing about that map (which is SUPER cool, by the way) is how geography plays a huge role in the ascertaining of medals. With few exceptions, the host country has, historically, received the most medals. That says alot for the advantage of the home crowd.
