Analyzing medal counts in all olympia data

So I have a table with 150+ countries and their respective medal counts. To analyze the data considering the power law distribution I want to plot it into a histogram and rank plot. But I think with that many countries it would be to chaotic. How would you suggest for me to plot the medal count distribution in a more convenient way?

fileName = 'medals_total.csv'
t = readtable(fileName);
% Get rid of last row
t = t(1:end-1, :)
counts = t.CombinedTotal;
sortedt = sortrows(t, 2, 'descend')
% Plot by country
subplot(2, 1, 1);
bar(sortedt.CombinedTotal)
grid on;
xlabel('Country')
ylabel('Medal count')
% Take histogram of how many countries won different amounts of medals
subplot(2, 1, 2);
histogram(counts, 30)
grid on;
xlabel('Medal count')
ylabel('# Countries with that Medal count')
