A small, tidy summary of the ten countries that won the most total medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Games, in long format with one row per country-and-medal-type. Built for barplot examples: ten ordered categories (rather than the ~90 medal-winning nations in medal_table) plus a medal fill variable, so stacked, dodged, and proportional barplots all read cleanly without any filtering.

Usage

paris_2024_top_medals
