|Too early to tell. Listed below are the country's medal totals for the last Olympics prior to implementing same sex-marriage (which can be seen as a fair proxy for their totals this year), along with actual totals for this year so far. Denmark, Canada, and Sweden have already overperformed. For the others, it's too early to tell, although it's unlikely Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, or Belgium will overperform. To support the claim that there is no correlation, there should be an even number of countries overperforming as underperforming. Another result would suggest that there is a correlation of some sort.

To support the claim that there is a correlation, there should be a statistically significant difference in the total number of medals won by those countries. Another result would suggest that there is not enough evidence to suggest a correlation.
