|China, an officially atheist and communist country, leads the standings with 30 gold medals. Despite having more than three times the population of the United States and despite having a national program designed to produce champion athletes, China has only one more medal than the United States (61-60), and only two more gold medals (30-28). Despite having a population only one-fifth of that of the US, increasingly atheistic Great Britain has more than half as many gold medals, and more than half as many medals overall as the US, and ranks third overall. Great Britain did not win its first gold medal until Day 5 (August 1), because few of the medal competitions in which GB is strong (rowing, cycling, canoeing especially) were competed for until that day. In the 2008 Olympics, Great Britain won 47 total medals, which they will probably surpass. The last few Olympic Games have seen hosts surpass their totals from the previous games by 20-30%. Care should therefore be taken when looking at the British total.

The host factor would not effect Australia's and France's totals. Australia has 20 medals, but only a single gold medal. France has 25 medals, of which 8 are gold. In 2008, Australia won 46 medals and France won 41. Australia won 14 golds that year, a total that they are unlikely to surpass at this point.
