| Ajescent said: Really not sure why people are struggling with this. A gold is worth more than silver which is worth more than bronze. Counting by tally belittles the golds achieved. If you want to be higher up the tables, earn more golds, it really is that simple. But I agree, some sports give out way too many medals why some hardly give out any. |
yes a gold is more worth than one or maybe even three silver but a nation earning 2 gold isn't better than a nation earning one gold and 20 silver so 20 silver should be more worth than one gold. it is against every logic to say a country with one more gold but 30 less medals was better at the olympics and deserves to have a better place. no one would come to the idea to say an athlete who won 15 silver medals in his carreer was not as good as someone who won one gold. with that medal count they hugely discredit the second and third place because it's worth almost nothing for a country looking at the medal count.
at least they could use two counts like some newspapers already do and everyone can pic which he likes more^^
