US = 104
China = 87
Russia = 82


Former Soviet Union = 153

Could be that splitting the USSR made openings for many more athletes in the former USSR to medal in the Olympics.

Of course. Every country is allowed a number of athletes. If you have more countries you'll have more athletes.

How many athletes would there be if we were allowed X amount of athletes from each state?

Maybe the British Commonwealth and other colonial empires had bunches of medals too?

Probably pretty high for the British Commonwealth if you count Canada, Australia, various African countries, the US, India, etc.
