### Methods
In addition to the official medal count, we decided to see what the equivalent medal breakout would resemble if we normalized each country’s medal tally by their population, as well as by their GDP. Additionally, we computed new medal rankings and counts by looking at the volume of search interest in Sports and Olympics topics. |
