Final medal results at Sochi Olympics


According to NPR, this is the fourth time the host nation of an Olympics has emerged victorious in the medal count, making a strong case for the idea of home field advantage (U.S. in 1932; Norway in 1952 and Canada in 2010).

    Just four times since 1932?! I think that makes a strong case that home field plays no significant advantage.

    It's ranked on the graphic by gold medal count. We actually come in second in total medal count.
