Default How to sum the 3 best scores for every country in an contest?

To sum the 3 highest numbers, following functions can be used in a
really nice combination:
=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,
{1,2,3}))
But how to add an condition to it?

Example:
Column A below are the scores for induvudual persons in a contest.
Column B below is the country they are competing for
..
How to add the sum of the 3 best scores for each country ?
The correct answer should be 213+199+187=599 for USA and
198+158+135=491 for Canada.
A B
141 USA
199 USA
135 CAN
187 USA
158 CAN
145 USA
213 USA
198 CAN
120 USA
180 CAN

Really looking forward for the experts to crack this one. Preferably
without using VB.

Regards Dan
