There does not appear to be a published (at least on the web) list that shows the number of participants by country, but the site below does list the competing nations as well as the the total number of competitors...\n\nThere is a published book called "Complete Book of the Summer Olympics" by David Wallenchinsky. Published by Natl Book Network. You might find this in the sports section of your local book store or library, and this has the complete listing of nations taking part along with competitors, but not by nation either, just total

Russia is one of my favorite , its obvious that they will be competing for the gold medal at least . I would put Finland on 2 nd place and Belarus on 3rd . Belarus is very strong and potential . So called "dark horse" . You never know what to expect from them , despite recent loss to Sweden . Its because Belarus ruled by dictator like in Soviet Union times . Lukashenko said " You have to get a medal "
