All-Time Most Successful Country by Won Olympics Medals - (Summer + Winter) 

It is the same with the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia

The population size matters when it comes to finding genetic freaks who look like they were grown in a lab for a specific sport, but the main predictor of success here is wealth (of which Norway has plenty)

Because they dominate in the winter games due to their climatic advantages

They're not the only country with plenty of snow and ice so there is a little more to it than that. Of course, they have an advantage over hot countries.

@@dionf3858the USA is all tropical you mean, no border with Canada, no Rockies…..

Norwegian asthmatic sport rule😅

Yep, Cuba, despite being neither rich nor having big population still make it to the top 20

They dominated in boxing.

😂😂😂

Facilities, same with South Korea

Not surprised Italy is a major western power with a large population.

A lightning bolt travels at 270,000 mph, Usain Bolt travels at 27.33 mph. Nope.😆😆

There are many famous person from jamaica than bolt... like Robert Marley , Rihanna , Chris Gayle, Merlene Otte etc etc

@@LadyHeathersLair The Robert part did throw me off.

True but East and West Germany had more athletes in each discipline when competing as two countries......and the ones from the East were pumped up with Steroids.

​@@lucybartley5063Western countries were and are also pumped on steroids and always use dropping

​@@Imaxxd22Costa Rica , Portugal , Iceland, Serbia, Venezuela, Mexico not that great at sports

Exactly opposite happened, ussr medals were basically added to Russia in statistics here, Russia has only ~150 gold medals, 500+ listed here is only possible if you add Ussr to it.. which is total bs, at least they should be split and added to the countries based on which ssr they were from

Athletes who won those medals were not only fromRussia, but also from another countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia…)

None of those on top in this list make the top per capita.Countries like NZ with only 5 mill regularly finish in the top 5 per capita 3rd i think at the last olympics theres hardly any snow or ice in NZ so not as good in the winter olympics.

Ok bro thanks 💙. I will make it soon.

true, Australia would be a few spots higher on the summer games list, but near the bottom on the winter list.

👏

All the while being incompetent at all of them while being dominated by other nations.

Why to be surprised? They are one of the most dominant countries and the only country in the Olympics to have won atleast a gold medal in all the Olympics.

@avatharamveeraraghavan3001 I never knew that about the Gold medals👏 If they spent the same amount as other countries, they would be even better😜

Belgium is not a real Country.

Lately Belgium has highly improved incredibly in world sport achievements. I think that there is another wind blowing and they can be just as competitive as the Dutch!

@@WillMunywhat credentials to be a real country does Belgium miss? They have everything any other respected country has to make them real!

Bohemia was a country once. England played one soccer game against them.

Climate probably has a lot to do with it but it is strange since one of the legacies of Empire is interest in sport. Just look at Australia

Canada is the smallest of the G7 by far (least populous, not land size) yet is 13th in medal count overall. If anything they are overachieving with winter sports playing a big part.

Britain lived of the investment of money 10yrs prior the 2012 Olympics. This is why we did so well from 2008-2016. Funding is now declining, athletes are not being invested in and it shows. Money makes a difference.

@@YukonGhibli Population has nothing to do with it others India should dominate it. Also Norway and Sweden are smaller populations and not as rich yet does much better.

@@RubbishGimpy Exactly. You get the point. We are not well funded plus identity politics play a huge role negatively here.

Indonesia's poor performance in the Olympics compared to countries with small populations proves that Indonesia is an inferior country.

Exacly, fake pure. Paralympic Games have more competitiom than OG Winter...

Hundred countries for winter Olympics Their location means not everyone can participate

Australia is irrelevant in a backwater part of the world no one cares about but Australians.

Actually if you dig deeper, you can see that the Usa is Extremely strong in several certain sports (athletic, swimming, gymnastics, shooting, women football,...)

@@quangminh9873 Women’s football yes, golf, boxing, basketball and some other martial sports but most are ones which are underwritten by colleges. Australia is a much smaller country but it has a much more embedded (participatory not just watching) sports culture

@@quangminh9873USA also performs well in Speed Skating and Short track and Alpine Skiing.

Australia is actually pretty good at Equestrian, have medalled at most olympics for the last 2-3 decades.

sad

Probably medals from athletes that were allowed to compete but the land they are from was banned for some reason, therefore winning the medal for independent/neutral instead of their country. Like russian athletes that could prove they were involved in doping could compete while russia was officially banned for the nation wide doping campagne.

Being a pathetic loser is winning? Ok. You deluded nonsense.

Norway win extremely much gold per capita. No other countries even near them.

Slovenija. Only exist 33 years and 2 milion people, 52 medals. Only 6 Times in olyimpic! Very good. 🤔🇸🇮

Australia would be much higher also , only about 26 million people.

Do not know who is first but India is strong last

The minnows are in a frenzy. 🤣

1896 was the first Olympics in the modern era.

Ummm, no, The olympics were brought into the modern era by the 1896 Games in Athens. Wales had nothing to do with Olympic Games in the modern era. Nice thought, though. Love Wales

The 1996 Summer Olympics, held in the United States, in Atlanta. The Best Athlete of those games - Alexey Nemov. won five (5) Individual medals, and one (1) team medal. and in Men's Swimming at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Alexander Popov became the Best Athlete.

Russians are so insecure.

How long have they been saying that? They crack under pressure in all the big games when it matters. Australia best cricket nation always were and always will be.

​@@robfromtasmania1642keep coping 😂

Mostly because the World doesn't think of it as a sport LoL - when they do EVERYONE will make up a team and beat India.

They don't exist anymore. Their medals are respectively included in Germany and russia olympic teams.

Yeah because only hundred for winter

USSR always have been ahead of USA

@@mv9140 USA for 18 times rank number one gold medalist since the first Olympic 1896 . USSR only for 6 times ( 1956 , 1960 , 1972 , 1976 , 1980 and 1988 ) ranked number one . Don't you know how to use Wikipedia or searching in the google ?

Bahamas overtook them at the Tokyo Olympics.

@@parrais Looks like you're right. Finland is still 2nd in total medals per capita (after San Marino).

Shame they are so crap at both summer and winter games these days.

You guys really need to stop the per capita qualification .The USA has less people than India and China. And the USA beats both countries even with. combined Medal Total. Also there are only soo many events any country can win. So you have to dominate or at-least be competitive. To ultimately win.

@@lisaroberts8556 Yeah right, comparing USA 350 million against Finland 5 million makes absolute sense in actual numbers doesn't it?

Per capita doesn’t mean much. Especially when the USA in terms of population. Is smaller than China & India in total overall population. And the USA beats them both even with a combined medal total. either quality is there or not. Having more or less people, factors lower. Also some countries don’t participate in both Summer & Winter Olympics. If countries don’t show up? They don’t Medal. Hence the overall Medal Tally.

​@@lisaroberts8556China join Olympic in 1984 Lmao

Ur from a meme country. Lol

Excellent mind! You make the world more beautiful.

Sorry I disagree, not because I deny the achievements of either winter or Paralympic’s but because of geographical and economic issues. Simply put it not possible to compete in the Winter Olympics if you don’t have …. Winter. For all intents and purposes all countries between on or near the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. Does not have any snow ( other than at extreme high altitudes) so it’s for all intents and purposes not possible for the majority of the worlds population to even consider playing a winter sport, no matter how talented they are. You might as well have a High Altitude Olympics ( nothing under 1500m ) or a Heat Olympics (where the temperature doesn’t go under 30 degrees Celsius with a UV index of 10+). The reason I would exclude Paralympic is the same reason I would exclude Women’s medals ( not because they are not competent sportspeople) but because for the VAST majority of the world there are NO facilities or funds for disabled or women’s athletes ( and that excludes cultural issues … go try and have a women beach volleyball team in Afghanistan and see what happens) … I live in a Third World Country in the Southern Hemisphere and I am an international level athlete ( I tried but did not qualify for Paris 2024). There is NO State funding whatsoever in my country for any Sports … you want to go to the Olympics sure go … pay for everything yourself from your tracksuit to your kit, to your flights , to your accommodation, training etc etc … I wasn’t the best in my country … I was just the best that could afford to go to the qualifiers. There you are up against full time professional athlete ( I have to work a full job), with professional coaches, technical officials, brand new equipment etc etc . Oh and the nearest qualifying even for me is 7000kms away in a different hemisphere. 80% of my particular sports events are in or around Europe… the European athlete can drive to their events. I have to catch a 20+ hour flight , switch to a different season ( I’m usually in the Southern Hemisphere winter so my bio rhythms are out of sync). And go through all sorts of visa regulations etc etc which European’s don’t have to go through. The last time we had an event in my country in summer ( NH winter) the temperature was 30+ degrees, at 1500m above sea level and a UV index on 13 …The Scandinavians had severe sunburn and we had to have Oxygen for most of the athletes from other countries as they literally would pass out. Bottom line is you CANNOT compare using a graph above. My country did not exist for the first 3 Olympics and was not allowed to participate in another 12. If we were allowed to and had even 1/100th of the amount of money that Norway spends on its athletes … that table would look VERY different , and that goes for every 3rd world country! One last thing … take a look at the athletes especially in the long distance events … in this Olympics … the marathon will have 30 different athletes with Kenyan/Somali/Ethiopian surnames running for the U.S./Canada/ Australia/ Europe/ Arab countries … why because the rich countries just “buy” the athletes. give me €100 billion and I will create and send a team from “Eswatini” that will clean up all the medals in the Summer, Winter and Paralympics

Exacly, strange list..

​@@Verita1975very good points, and never mentioned when those who win the medals beat their chests in triumph in what has always been an unfair and skewed system. Further, this could also be said about inequalities within even the rich countries themselves. As example, when the US had the Coca Cola Olympics in 1996, the US track cycling fédération spent millions (somewhere around 9-12 million) developing a track specific bike which resulted in only two US silver medals. Apply enough money, and absolutely anything is possible/achievable.

Because a deaf athlete should compete with those missing limbs... ridiculous.@@Verita1975

Go to India and you will find out - slums filled with malnourished people whose top priority is survival - they don't give a crap about the Olympics.

Soviet union= Russia

USSR's achievement has been counted for Russia. No wonder why Russia has 2000+ medals

@@quangminh9873 Is it true? Why then are Ukraine and other CIS countries on the list? Didn’t it occur to you that the medals were divided in statistics or you weren’t smart enough to understand it?

@@zaazzaaaz1704 I understood the video. This guy add all of Russian Empire, Soviet Union, Unified Team in 1992, OAR, ROC's medal into Russia's statistic, thus made Russia has over 2000 winter and summer Olympic medal. If he counted separatedly (like what he did to Yugoslavia team), Soviet Union should only had 1204 medals, Russia Federation has only 540+ medals, Ukraine has 140+ medals... and so on
