The New York Times has put together a nifty interactive timeline-map highlighting how many medals each country has won in every Summer Olympics since 1896. You can click on a year to see the medal counts from a given Olympiad by country, and view the results by geographic distribution (as above) or as a straight ranking.

I love picking a single country to observe and then going through the list.
Ones I’ve found particularly interesting:
Canada
Germany
France
Russia/Soviet Union
