There is another way to look at the medal picture, and probably a more
relevant one.  Include in the totals for each country the medals won by
athletes that train in that country but competed for another country.
The main recipient would be the USA, since a large number of medals were
won by non-Americans with athletic scholarships at American schools.
How many of them would have won without training here?

I haven't done the comparison, but I'm sure it would have added at least
5-10 golds and 10-15 others in track and field alone.
