Answer 6

of Gold + # of Silver + # of Bronze, like it's been for over 100 years.  Nothing special is done "just to put" anyone at the top.

Answer 7

I've felt for a long while now that the Olympics should be one big competition decided by all the independent competitions.

It would be simple

Golds would be worth 3 pts

Silvers would be worth 2 pts

Bronzes would be worth 1 pt

then when all the competitions are done the scores are tallied using the scoring system above and at the closing ceremony the top 3 nations would each get gold silver and bronze respectively. And the 3 ppl on the podium would be the president/prime minister/head of state.

Answer 8

Maybe they should only award gold medals.

Answer 9

Answer 10
