The Winter Olympics in Vancouver<\/a> yielded some great visualizations, with the New York Times work being amongst the top ones. They are showing off a map of the Winter Olympic Medals<\/a> in the tradition of the Dorling cartograms<\/a>. They also did a great job on a 3D map of the venues<\/a>.
\nFor those who want for worldmapper style maps, here is the relief: The worldmapper map of the actual medal count. The following is transformed due to a country’s total number of medals it has won.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A larger version of the map<\/a> can be viewed by clicking on the image.<\/p>\n


\nSplitting the results in Gold\/Silver\/Bronze shows that the general trend remains, making the Olympics a quite one-sided competition between the wealthy countries (and China), no matter whether it is the first, second or third rank in the results tables:<\/p>\n
