The Olympic Stream

In the build-up to the Olympics 2012 in London, MO.be published a dossier about the Olympic Games (in dutch). Part of this dossier is the Olympic Stream, a visualisation of all medals won in modern Olympics.

The medals won are represented chronologically, from the Games in Athens in 1896 on the left to the last Olympics in Beijing in 2008 on the right. The thickness of the ‘stream’ of the country indicates the number of medals won and colors indicate the contintent or region of a country. Country names are shown when hovering over the graph.

The graph was published in an article about the internationalization of the Olympics (Dutch) and on a seperate page dedicated to the graph (in Dutch and English).
