Question

Why the h**l is Yahoo rating Team U.S.A as first while in the official Olympics Website China is top?

Answer 1

You can change the chart to show the medal count, either by amount or by the number of gold medals

Answer 2

Yahoo is doing it by all medals. Maybe the official website is just gold?

Answer 3

Because it's how WE(USA) count our medals, we've always counted our medals this way. Even when WE lead in the Gold Medal count, the American Media counted the overall count.

Congrats to China

I'm proud of Team USA!

Answer 4

Because olympic results and rankings have ALWAYS been

by TOTAL MEDAL COUNT.  Gold medal rankings are a separate

tally made by those who want to see gold only.

There are 89 countries listed on the Total Medal Count.

There are 33 countries on the Total Medal Count who DID NOT

win any gold.

What, should we take these 33 countries off the list because

they didn't win a gold?

3 medals are awarded in each event.  Any OFFICIAL medal

count has to include all of these, not just gold.

Of course, China is going to promote the GOLD ONLY count,

since they won the most gold.  It's only natural.

Answer 5

Different ways of ranking. USA does it by total medals, while the rest of the world goes by Golds.

Answer 6

hey thats coz yahoo is rating them under total no of medals tab

whereas the official olympics website rates them on the basis of their total gold medals...

Answer 7

Of course it should be rated by gold medals.

If USA won 0 golds, 0 silver, 110 bronze...and China won 100 golds, 0 silver, 0 bronze....  should USA still be ranked first ?
