Olympic Medal Visual Map
From the 1984 Olympics — the first ones I really remember.
From this year's Olympics (so far).
My sister Rachel just posted about this great visual map of Olympic Medals that shows which countries have won the most during each year the games were held. It's beautiful. And fun to watch as you adjust it. (Click the images to see them bigger.)
My mom mentioned remembering how political the games have sometimes been, looking at the maps through the years. Nice find Rachel!

Wow, cool.
1984--is that the year of Mary Lou Retten? Because that is the year of my first Olympics, too! Loved watching her cheer on this year's girls. Cool maps.
