Weird way USA is rigging Tokyo Olympics medal tally

If you were an American reading about the Olympics this morning, you would very likely have a different take on which country is currently winning the medal tally to the rest of the world.

Traditionally, the ranking of nations on the table is dictated by how many gold medals a nation has.

If they are tied on gold then it goes down to how many silvers they’ve won, and then the same rule applies with bronze medals.

However, many major US publications — including NBC and the New York Times no less — have come up with their own way of ranking the world’s nations.

And — surprise, surprise — it means that a certain nation ends up on top of the table.

Looking at the rankings on several USA sites this morning, America sits firmly on top — with nine golds, eight silvers and eight bronze medals.

The logic is that Team USA has won the most overall medals.

However, this is not correct according to the official Olympics website, which shows that the real leader — as of this morning at the time of writing — is the host nation Japan.

That’s because the Olympics website — like every other medal tally outside of the USA — values gold above all else.

Japan has 10 golds, three silvers and five bronze medals — meaning they are coming first. The USA is in second and China is third.

Hilariously enough, as of this writing, China tied the US for total medal count as well, so now it also tops the US-made-up ranking :lol

[hater]

Americans are.a weird breed. Must always be leading even if they have to suddenly switch the way medals are counted :lol

Were a sad little group of ppl

[hater]

My nephews yesterday screamed in joy saying US is winning the olympics looking at the medal rankings.

I told them thats not how it works and they said dejected oh China is winning :lol

[Thanos]

USA doesn’t have the benefit of a state run doping scheme so I’d say messing with the tallies is fair game.

Medal count has been around forever. I guess it could be weighted for place, but who really cares?

Medal count has been around forever. I guess it could be weighted for place, but who really cares?

Exactly.
Its not like this is new.
We have done this before.

So I would like the board to decide how to weight medals. 3,2,1; 5,2,1; 4,2,1 What? 8,3,0...?

[baseline bum]

LOL NBC and their America circle jerk. These faggots are making the olympics unwatchable. First I know if I see something on at 3PM on NBC, the Americans didn't win shit. If I see something at 8PM I know the Americans at least got silver. Then watching the 1500 freestyle a few nights ago they had two fucking commercial breaks in the middle of the race. It was only a 15 minute race, not like we're watching a marathon or something. I hope NBC is losing their ass on ratings this olympics, the amount of ads is unreal.

Definitely true.
Very little praise for other athletes we lose to as well.

[pgardn]

Btw...
I saw a medal count table with total medals FOLLOWED BY a medal count based just on Gold.

[Adam Lambert]

I was thinking this approach seemed new, I seem to remember the rankings starting with gold even here not too long ago.

Oh well, just more America First pandering. That's the way it is when you have to cater to these sensitive and entitled boomer TV audiences.

[Neo.]

i could not care less about who's leading but tbh I always thought the medal count included all of them (gold silver bronze) and were placed in the order of total medals. but I must have remembered incorrectly

[pgardn]

I have definitely seen it that way before.
We also have/had Winter Olympics every two years. Maybe I remember it during those.

[FrostKing]

More Olympians + Less Golds = more losers

Almost every event has an American losing. It is staggering.

And yet when the Japanese authorities rejected the Great Simone's mind drugs she could only muster a bronze.

Team USA took home more total gold, silver and bronze medals than any other country from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and edged out China for the most golds.

At the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Team USA had 113 total medals, 39 of them gold; China had 88, with 38 golds; Brazil had 21 medals, 7 gold, 6 silver, and 8 bronze; and way further down in rankings, Argentina had a total of 3 medals, 1 silver and 2 bronze.

Only thing that is embarrassing is Hater having to swallow Argentina's poor performance. By a gold standard, these sad little wannabes earned nothing in Tokyo.

Sure, the US media was a bit cocky in providing count totals the way it did but, in the end, US media was right in backing the US' cockiness.
