After reading the article we made this #boxplot using #LabPlot, an open source data analysis and visualization software.
The plot doesn’t provide answers, it rather invites some thinking.

A boxplot is a visualization tool to quickly get an idea of how the data is distributed. In this population the outliers are so large that the info the real box + whiskers give is very low.
In your title you suggest investigating a relationship between total Olympic medals and HDI - why not choose a scatter plot here?
That the number in square brackets refers to the HDI rank only get’s clear on the second look.
The outliers being distributed over the X-Axis is confusing.
Sorry but this visualization is not beautiful, rather the wrong method used that cannot display the hypothesis stated in the title.
