Sample 1: The Chart Below Shows the Total Number of Olympic Medals Won

The bar chart illustrates the information related to the international Olympics, including how many medals were won by twelve nations (the USA, Soviet Union, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Australia, Hungary, East Germany, Japan, and China).

Overall, the bar graph reveals that the USA won the highest gold, silver, and bronze medals among the other countries, and the gap between the numbers was significant.

At first, the USA had the highest number of medals in the Olympics, which was about 2250 in total, and in second place, with exactly 1000 medals, the Soviet Union won. Moreover, there were only six nations that won more than 500 medals: the UK (650), France (600), Germany (520), and Italy (510), which include the USA and the Soviet Union.

Sweden and Hungary won the same number of medals—around 400—and the same goes for Australia and East Germany with approximately 350. At the same time, China won about 340 awards, and Japan won nearly 330 medals, the least among the other countries.

Sample 2: The Chart Below Shows the Total Number of Olympic Medals Won

The bar chart compares twelve countries regarding the overall number of medals they have won at the Olympic Games.

The USA has won a total of around 2,300 Olympic medals, including approximately 900 gold medals, 750 silver and 650 bronze. In second place on the all-time medals chart is the Soviet Union, with just over 1,000 medals. Again, the number of gold medals won by this country is slightly higher than the number of silver or bronze medals.

Only four other countries – the UK, France, Germany, and Italy – have won more than 500 Olympic medals, all with similar proportions of each medal colour. Apart from the USA and the Soviet Union, China is the only other country with a noticeably higher proportion of gold medals (about 200) compared to silver and bronze (about 100 each).

Overall, It is clear that the USA is by far the most successful Olympic medal-winning nation. Notably, the figures for gold, silver, and bronze medals won by any particular country tend to be fairly similar.
