The New York TImes has created an interactive map of the Winter Olympic gold medalists. Simply click on a sport, such as Figure Skating, to bring up a list of events. Then select one of the events under that sport – such as women’s figure skating, to see a total of the Winter Olympic gold medal since the inception of the games. You can click the arrows to go forwards and backwards in time to see who won the Olympic gold medal for women’s figure skating in 1976 (Dorothy Hamill, in case your wondering). From the interactive infographic:
Some countries have dominated Olympics events for years. Norway, Sweden and Finland, for example, have won virtually all the gold medals for cross country skiing since 1924. The maps below show the current and previous gold medalists in the Vancouver Olympic events.
