Explanation of medals table: As well as showing the latest standings for gold, silver, bronze and total medals won, this table features alternative ways to interpret how countries rank. By selecting one of the tabs at the top of the table, you can sort the last column: By population - this shows total population of the country divided by the total number of medals won.* By GDP - this shows the country's GDP divided by the total number of medals won. The figures for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are GVA (gross value added) which is sometimes called GDP at factor cost. Other figures may be GDP at market prices, which is usually higher (the difference is indirect taxes and subsidies).* 'GDP per medal' and 'population per medal' are only indicative ratios, and do not represent or reflect the level of investment in sport nor the amount of people competing in sport in each listed country. |
