The table represents data on the amount of medals won by the highest ten countries in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Overall, the top four countries – the United States, China, Great Britain, and Russia have the highest numbers in both Gold medals and total medals. The lower six countries – South Korea, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, and Australia have slightly lower numbers of Gold medals and total medals.
The United States is the top one achiever of Gold medals, with 46 medals, as well as total medals, with 104 medals. It is followed by China with the 38 Gold medals and 88 total medals. Russia has similar total medals as China with 82 medals but lower Gold medals than Great Britain with 24 medals. That is because of the opposite numbers of Silver and Bronze medals.
Although the United States has the highest numbers in almost all medals, Russia has 32 Bronze medals, 3 medals more than the United States.
The lower six countries have a significant gap between the total numbers of medals with the higher four countries, with the numbers less than 50.

Australia has the second highest total number of medals with 35 medals but it has the least number of Gold medals, with 7 medals. Except for the Gold medal, Hungary has the lowest number in every category among all the ten countries.
