How politics helped the USA to lead the medal table
Open graphicThe U.S. lead is so large because of its volume (more people, more athletes) and its consistency. Some of its biggest competitors, such as Russia and Germany, have suffered too many political changes to contest the title. Still, even counting all the medals ever won by nations once in the Soviet Union, the United States is still No. 1.

Polluted waters in Rio
Open graphicIn seeking to host the Summer Olympics, Brazil promised “green games for a blue planet.” It pledged to clean up waterways around future Olympic sites, including a lagoon in front of the planned Olympic Park, and to remove 80 percent of the sewage flowing into the bay where most sailing races would be held. It appears none of these goals will be reached when the Olympics open Aug. 5.
