Rankings Calculation (BON points)

BestOlympicNation.com collects data to determine which nation is the best Olympic nation. When determining which nation is best we measure:
  • The number and color of the medals - We allocate 3 points for each gold medal, 2 points for each silver medal and 1 point for each bronze model. This gives a country the Medal Points score. The top 10 countries qualify for the title of Best Olympic Nation.
  • After calculating the Medal Points score we factor in the population of each country to determine the BON (Best Olympics Nation) score for each country (calculated as follows: BON score = Medal Points / population x 100 million). The BON score ranks the countries from first to tenth.



For the third straight year Australia has been declared the Best Olympic Nation. The USA and China finish 8th and 10th.
