Soviet Union update

Didn't really see much of the Olympics this time. Shame, really. China's first place in the medals table breaks the fairly long-standing duopoly of the United States and Soviet Union (including the 1992 effort by the so-called Unified Team of former Soviet republics) being top dogs. In fact, it's the first time since 1936 when Hitler's Jolly Germans were the big winners. I do hope that doesn't mean that China will be invading Poland in 2011.

Anyway, I've updated the chart that compares how the Soviet Union fared at the Olympics and how the former Soviet republics have fared separately. Seems like they're getting better.
