Olympics Medal Table as World Map

Worldmapper is a website that creates maps changing the size of a country due to different factors.

For example they have created a map of the World whereby each country is the size of its population. Therefore China becomes even bigger than it actually is and some countries in Africa hardly exist.

They have just published a map in terms of Olympic medals won. It makes interesting reading. Have a look and read about the map by following the link:
