Here in the US, channels covering the medal counts just base it on total medals. So the chart would say, 1. US, 2. China, 3. Japan


Yes, they do that because they can't stand being in second place... but they are.

If USA were #1 in gold, but #2 in total medals, they would cover the medal counts based on golds... not in total medals.
