Olympic History for Sporting Clubs

The Nyköpings Kanotklubbs, a canoeing club from Sweden, has a web-page on the Olympic history of its members.

They have had sportsmen present at all Olympics since 1948, and one of their members is Gert Fredriksson.

With 1086.5HP, the club launches the gauntlet to other sport clubs to see which are the most successful in olympic history: It would seem that only the Santa Monica Track Club (and whichever club Ray Ewry belonged to), can beat that total.
