I like how the position axis starts at 0, maybe that’s for a year they don’t qualify

If the article is about how just a few countries are dominating the podiums, I think this is an incredibly effective graph.

At this rate, at the next Olympics they’ll be in -10.5 place!

The Y axis is the absolute number of medals and the labels for each data point are relative rankings. If one country got all the medals except one and Ireland got that one remaining medal, there would be a data point at Y=1 with the label “2nd”.

That thery might work if the data point labels didn’t directly correspond with the Y axis labels.

This reminds me of that chart showing gun deaths over a few years that showed the line going down the more deaths there were. That made sense graphically, they colored it in to look like blood dripping down, but this is just dumb.
