The bar chart compares twelve countries in terms of the overall number of medals that they have won at the Olympic Games.
It is clear that the USA is by far the most successful Olympic medal winning nation. It is also noticeable that the figures for gold, silver and bronze medals won by any particular country tend to be fairly 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).

很明显，美国是迄今为止获得奥运奖牌最多的国家。值得注意的是，任何一个国家获得的金牌、银牌和铜牌的数字都相当相似。
美国总共获得约2300枚奥运奖牌，其中包括约900枚金牌、750枚银牌和650枚铜牌。在奖牌榜上排名第二的是苏联，奖牌数刚刚超过1000枚。同样，这个国家获得的金牌数量比银牌或铜牌数量略多。
只有另外四个国家——英国、法国、德国和意大利——获得了500多枚奖牌，每种奖牌颜色的比例都差不多。除了美国和苏联，中国是唯一一个金牌(约200枚)比例明显高于银牌和铜牌(各约100枚)的国家。
