@zesolodar if you were talking strictly men or women, then yea I wouldn't be surprised as US at the number one spot, however combined is a whole different thing. All the great international soccer teams having combined to win less than four medals is surprising.
No one really cares about football or rugby at the olympics, strong teams don't send their best players. Which is why you'll see israel and mali playing football at the olympics but not stronger teams.
@@aridddle I think it's because the men's tournament is Under 23 age restriction, so the superstars from Europe and South America aren't competing. It's probably harder to maintain consistency when you have a whole new team every Olympic games. Either way, I'll take it for the US.
If there was a video for the Winter Olympics, I think we could expect countries like Switzerland, Austria, Norway and Canada to be more prominent, but maybe the Dutch for speed skating. Probably the US for some of the more recent added sports like snowboarding.
The USSR was much more potent in the Summer Olympics than any country before or since. Telling that they still lead some categories despite only participating in a mere 9 Olympics.

Hello! Just saying the United Kingdom isn’t a country, it’s a nation! This is because for some reason we join as a nation at Europeans, World and Olympics. If you see at the Commonwealth games we are split as, Isle of Man 🇮🇲, Scotland 🏴, England 🏴, Wales 🏴, Northen Ireland. (Can’t find the emoji) This is because when we were the Empire, we colonised these countries. Just letting you know!!
Literally nobody uses your definition of nation and country. Which is kinda funny. In my view England, Scotland etc are nations whereas The UK is a country.
@@theonewhoasked8092India is also a developing country with very little sports infrastructure or investment. China currently has a lot of investment going into sports, which is why they are currently leading the Olympic rankings in Paris. However, this investment is pretty recent considering China was a very poor country a few decades ago. Hence why historically they obviously weren’t the most dominant country. This is definitely slowly changing though. China have been a top country for the past few Olympics now. They came 1st in 2008, 2nd in 2012, 3rd in 2016, 2nd in 2020 and now are currently 1st again in 2024
@@ramengurung9913India has been around as than the USA so i don’t understand why they are still developing. You can’t make excuses about against the USA.
Let me guess, the guy who made this video is an American, LOL.😏 Population is a moot point. The USA may have the third largest population, but it all comes down to investment and sports science. Otherwise, we'd be seeing India and Indonesia winning more medals.
Honestly, this is a "grass is always greener" scenario. What the U.S. has is facilities. Most athletes in the U.S. do not have any kind of funding or support. One of our shotput Olympians tweeted how she couldn't sleep the day before her competition because she couldn't afford rent. This isn't even that uncommon. A lot of Olympians live at or below the poverty line and usually need roommates. You only hear about people like phelps or biles but the money and support they get is from sponsorship deals and being in one of the lucrative sports. I personally was on the U.S. national team. In order for me to get on the national team I had to be competitive at the international level before I could be considered. To be clear, I had to be able to compete at the world level before the U.S. would give me a jersey and their permission to race internationally. Even on the U.S. team I was using my own equipment.
It's stupid to compare like that. You have to compare countrys by population . Its impossible to Canada with a population of 40 million to have the same numbers of medals than USA who have 400 millions.
You want fairness? But in fact, many populous countries have relatively underdeveloped economies, or have been stagnant for a long time. There are also many other factors that you might need to consider.
@@Th1nkaboutguwei If you take the number of medals in proportion with the number of population per country (the percentage) Canada, Australia and many other countries are better than USA . It's incredible than Canada finish with the most medals in the winter olympics in vancouver 10 years ago approximatively. We are only 40 millions.
I’m not sure how just giving information is stupid if it’s accurate. Now if you want to do per capita, well, go right ahead friend. Make sure to take a hard look at Norway, for that winter Olympic count verses their population size. Don’t call something stupid just because you don’t agree with how it’s being done. Especially if the information is allegedly accurate.
@@actionfigurezaddy2183 i said nothing stupid. And i'm agreed with Norway in winter Olympics. But i just said that Americans who always thinking they are the best, no they don't by prorata. That's it, and if you thinking with your arrogant shit that you write to me that i was wrong, No i don't. Have a good day
The video tile is “GOLD medals”. In caps. As of the video, NZ had one, 2020. They now have two. Fiji also now has two. Four way tie. (Officially, 1908 was the “Australasia” team, so Australia would only have one. But as the entire Rugby team was Australian, we’ll give it to them).
The soviets were pretty legit back in the day. Granted, they were juicing the fck out of their athletes and all of their athletes were basically professionals by any other country's definition so maybe they shouldn't be allowed, but events like gymnastics they were nasty.
The United States is always above the rest in overall AND gold, because we have the greatest athletes in the world. There are some great ones in other countries, like Usain Bolt, but overall the USA is always on top. It's proof that our country is the most athletic country in the world.
@@Eoiniscool If you accounted for population, then it would be unfair to countries with large populations like China/Russia/US, they would literally have to win 2,400+ for it to match their population sizes. China around 3,400+…more than 2-3x the available medals that year:/ the only outlier is India, they have a population of like a billion and still suck in the Olympics💀
“USA has the best athletes in the world” LOL! Americans are THE ONLY nation in the world to unironically claim that female athletes>>>>male athletes List of countries with the most Olympic individual MALE gold medalists in the last 50 years: 1972 - USSR 1976 - USSR 1980* - USSR (USA didn’t participate) 1984* - USA (USSR didn’t participate) 1988 - USSR 1992 - USSR 1996* - USA 2000 - Russia 2004 - Russia 2008* - China 2012* - UK 2016 - UK 2020 - China *Games when the hosts topped the list. As you can see the only time you won the ranking was when it took place in the US. When you go abroad you become a joke, never being the best despite having the most athletes competing every single time. That’s the difference. Americans only care about female athletes. Across the world we only give a damn about male athletes. The last worldwide sport where you dominated men’s competition was tennis in the 70-90s. Later it got popular in Europe and nowadays you can’t even get close despite still having by far the most people competitively training it. If Rugby players from Australia/New Zeleand/Papua New Guinea/RSA had American football as their national sport instead of rugby only 10% of the NFL players would be American. Not to mention you’d never be able to reach the top in football - the most popular and relevant sport in the world. Besides, the Olympics are made of the most minor sports that exist AKA competitive swimming, archery, shooting etc. The most popular and widely played sport in the USSR by miles was football yet they aren’t even a top 10 football nation ever. That’s why they started to tryhard the Olympics almost as much as Americans with better results than their main opponents. That’s also why: The best Olympic country in history - Soviet Union The best sporting country in history - Brazil If Brazil cared about the Olympics they would easily surpass the Soviets for the nr 1 Olympic nation ever spot. In the meantime keep getting focused on handegg, swimming or baseball.
@@yetekt6953 Men and women football are 2 different sports and u can't count them together, that's crazy. Also, Most people don't watch femenine football, that's more common in the US bc their masculine team sucks.

America dominates at the olympics and the funny thing is, 75% of our best athletes play american football. If we didnt have American football, wed probbaly dominate every single sport at the olympics besides table tennis or badmitton.
