With the 2016 Olympics beginning in Rio de Janeiro this weekend, we decided to take a look at how countries have fared in past Games.

Conveniently, Wikipedia has a breakdown of the total medal counts from past games, and we found the countries with the most bronze, silver, gold, and overall medals over the history of the Summer Olympics.

As a small technical note, Germany includes both East and West Germany as well as teams from the combined country, and Russia and the USSR have their medal counts combined as well.

Check out the winners below.

Bronze medals



Silver medals
