The GDR effect in the past: it makes more sense maybe to compare German medal tables from the 1984 (USSR and East Germany boycotted), and 1988 games (USSR and East Germany claimed 1st and 2nd rank). In 1984, West Germany was 3rd, in 1988 4th/5th together with South Korea, depending on how you count totals versus golds).
