Conveniently, Wikipedia has a breakdown of the total medal counts from past games, and we found the countries with the most bronze, silver, gold, and overall medals over the history of the Summer Olympics.
As a small technical note, Germany includes both East and West Germany as well as teams from the combined country, and Russia and the USSR have their medal counts combined as well.
