medal-winning nation. Notably, the figures for gold
, silver
and bronze
medals
won by any particular country are similar.
The USA has won a total of around 2,300 Olympic
medals
, including approximately 900 gold
medals
, 750 silver
and 650 bronze
. In second place on the all-time medals
chart is the Soviet Union, with just over 1,000 medals
. Again, the number of gold
medals
won by this
country is slightly higher than the number of silver
or bronze
medals
.
Only four other countries - the UK, France, Germany and Italy - have won more than 500 Olympic
medals
, all with similar proportions of each medal colour. Apart from the USA and the Soviet Union, China is the only other country with a noticeably higher proportion of gold
medals
(about 200) compared to silver
and bronze
(about 100 each).Submitted by ihanenn1 on
