Although the 2014 Paralympics started<\/a> in the middle of the turmoil of the ongoing political crisis in the Ukraine, they went by<\/a> rather smoothly in the end as most politically controversial tend to do. Putting politics aside<\/a>, the Russian dominance that already became apparent at the Olympics (see this map<\/a>) was even greater: The final medal count<\/a> saw Russia at top of the table with not only the most medals (80), but also most gold (30), silver (28) and bronze (22). Germany came second with 15 medals (9 of them gold), closely followed by Canada with 16 medals (but only 7 gold which put them in third place in the rankings). Second-most medals, however, were won by Ukraine which is an peculiar detail given the current political situation. Britain won the first gold medal ever<\/a> at the Paralympic winter games, and 19 nations managed to win at least one medal. Here is the Worldmapper-style view of all medals, showing the countries of the world resized according to their total medals won at the 2014 Winter Paralympics (as well as the individual success in each medal category):<\/p>\n
