The visualization shows all Olympic medals of Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic and Slovakia. By default, every single medal is counted and you can see that this creates two large spikes (when Czechoslovakia won football tournament where a large number of individual medals is awarded). You can modify the visualization to show just individual event by replacing "count" in the series value with count of distinct events.

The Telegraph article EU puts itself at the top of Rio Olympics medal table shows an alternative version of the Olympic medals table with all medals awarded to the EU countries grouped together, originally published by MedalTracker.eu. This visualization reproduces the calculation, but you can also easily tweak it to see the alternative Brexit chart, or a chart for London 2012.
The summary counts only Gold medals and it groups the medals by event (so we only count one medal for team events where a large number of individuals were awarded a medal). This seems to be what MedalTracker does, but you can change the code to count raw kilograms of Gold if you wish!

It turns out that Team GB are top of the Olympic medal table... for sitting-down sports in Rio 2016. This table shows that UK does pretty well for sitting-down sports over the entire history of the Olympics too. UK has the same number of sitting medals as Germany (but fewer gold) and is only a couple of medals behind the United States.

Did Czech Republic and Slovakia get more medals after becoming separate countries in 1993? Looks like the answer is not obvious. This visualization shows the counts of Olympic medals that Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Slovakia and Czech Republic got in a timeline inspired by this New York Times visualization.
One interesting fact - the visualization counts only one medal per event, so when Czechoslovakia won medals in Footbal in 1980, this visualization counts it just as one medal. You can easily change this - to count every single medal awarded click on "options" and change the option and value Event
in "Get the data" to and value count
. You'll see how the chart changes!

This visualization is another variation on "Individual Medalists of All Time", but rather than looking at medalists of all teams, it only looks at medalists from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Czechoslovakia and Bohemia which competed in Olympic games between 1900 and 1912 as an autonomous part of Austria-Hungary.
The list of teams included in the visualization can be easily modified, so if you are interested in another team (or multiple teams), you can just use "options" and modify the team list.
Rather than sorting the medalists by number of Gold medals (as the original visualization does), here we sort the medalists by the total number of medals. Again, this can also be changed in the "options".
