Russia and Soviet Union doesn't seem right as both valid answers. And more so, dividing them between Europe AND Asia.

Your medal counts are off. France 715, China 541, Russia 425, United States 2521, Canada 301, Cuba 220, Jamaica 77, Brazil 129. Also Samoa has 1 medal, why isn't it listed under Oceania?

Great quiz, but agree with above that Samoa should be added. Apparently they were awarded a women's weightlifting silver for the 2008 olympics "due to medals reallocation after the IOC's retesting of doping samples in 2016". (wikipedia)
