Title of Article: 2016 Summer Olympics medal table

Url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics_medal_table

Extracted on: 6 March 2018

Interesting Conclusions:

  1. The column in the table should be set to the Numeric format before it is being plotted into a graph to prevent RStudio from placing the first digit as its top priority while sorting
  2. The total number of medals earned does not have too much of an impact to a country’s ranking as the ranking is more dependent on the number of gold medals.
