Looking back at the 2008 medal count, it is a bit absurd that US would rank themselves higher than China by 10 medals, while China had 15 more gold medals.... As for the Olympic style rankings, countries like Japan would be getting hurt as it does not recognize the 17 medals they earned so far that aren't gold unless there is a tie. In the end, all of the countries are putting up a good performance for the viewers.
