@NKAJ. Its almost universally accepted that the correct way to measure success at an olympic games is through gold medal count with silver and bronzes being tie breakers.

except Canada admitted defeat in the total medal count race. Obviously people still care about totals.

To bad the US fell short on that exciting hockey game

The United States and Canada "score" the Olympics by using total medal counts (there may be other countries, I don't know, but these are the two that I know of). The rest of the world uses Gold to determine the "winner" of the Olympics.
