After watching the closing ceremonies last night for the 2002 Winter Olympics, I was wondering how the ten countries did that I listed from last week's Weekly Challenge.  I have listed the same countries in alphabetical order and the medals they won this year.
1. List in order the top 5 countries for total medals won
2. Which country improved the most over the past 4 years?     Why do you think?
