Here's the current medal count as it should be (if we count medals - which we all do, it's half of the fun - at least in my opinion every medal should count equally):

1	United States	21	10	12	43
2	China	20	13	9	42
3	Russia	3	12	8	23
4	Great Britain	8	6	8	22
5	Japan	2	8	11	21
6	Germany	5	9	6	20
7	France	8	5	6	19
8	South Korea	9	2	5	16
9	Australia	1	9	4	14
10	Italy	4	5	3	12

Looks much better than the official medal count for Russia, Japan and Australia.

medals counting equally defeats the purpose of distinguishing between gold, silver and bronze.
