View: Medals tally with nations?

The Paris Olympics have seen a rise in medal-winning countries, with the US, China, Japan, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Britain, South Korea, Italy, and Germany among the top 10. However, research has found a range of determinants beyond economic prosperity, such as team size, growth rate, expenditure on health, population, and investment in health and education. A moderate positive relationship has been observed between the total medal count for each country at the Beijing 2022 Olympics and their GDP per capita (PPP).
