Bragging rights
Out of curiosity, I decided to add the medal counts for the 2004 Athens summer olympics and the 2006 Torino winter olympics. Here are the curent top ten nations by total medals awarded. See the extended post for the next 18 (I selected the top 20 nations for both the summer and winter games).
