I’m curious if anyone has the stats on how many total medals were earned by each country. And I don’t mean total event medals where USA has 126, China has 91, etc. I mean total medals brought back home by all athletes who participated.

In sports like basketball where USA won, it got more than one gold since it had 12 athletes and received 12 gold medals in total. In the 4x400 relay, 4 people earned a gold, but the alternates who ran in prelims got golds too. So how many total medals did countries bring back home? I’d assume some countries “total medal count” using this calculation can easy rise 2-6x.
