It’s been a busy week in Rio. There’s been broken records and bones, and 315 medals has already been won. 60 different countries has won medals, and some countries even for the first time. But without further due, these are the top 10 countries that has the absolute most medals the first week of the Olympics.

 

 

What’s even more interesting to see is the top performers who somehow managed to get not only one Olympic medal, but multiple ones. Seems as Swimming is something you should go for if amount of medals is your main goal in life, seeing how four out of seven of the top performers are swimmers. The next 5 that would make the list are also swimmers.
