Funny that, an British friend who lives there was complaining this morning how that now China have more Golds than the US now NBC changed the way they calculated the medal table overnight ...so US stayed top.
Russia have a load of Bronzes..GB a load of Gold...but Russia do have more medals than GB..but not nearly as good ones |  | | |

No surprise really. When the convicts were reporting it, NZ were 10th and Aus 16th or so..
They showed the medal table 1st - 9th, missed out the Kiwis and then skipped to themselves at 16th.
Bitter, bitter c*nts. |  |

Rejig the table to take into account size of population as well. Then we're top. Simples. |  | | |

Ever since the Chinese starting collecting Golds, the USA have shown the medal table as 'total medals' instead of 'total golds'.
The USA also has 150 athletes more than China and only 10 more medals. |  | | |

I think it would be Jamaica on top considering they have a population of only 2.5 million. |  | | |

Not sure if this is true, but according to a couple of the papers this morning, the Commissar, sorry, Director General, of the BBC is unhappy with the focus on Team GB and wants the last few days to focus on other teams. Seem the Guardianistas aren't happy with the patriotism and national pride the Olympics have delivered. |  |

I've got no problem with total medals being the criteria for the order of the table. Don't see what the fuss is about. The Olympic ideal is simply to compete right? It's an incredible achievement to get any sort of medal. So what if Russia are 3rd. We have bragging rights if you need them. More golds and only 43% of their population. Any idiot can understand that. Even a seppo. |  |

Sorry.. Whole heartedly disagree.. Who cares about 3rd? Who came 3rd in the 800 meters last night? And why should we treat his medal as special as rushida's amazing gold ?
Nah for me i watch the olympics to see amazing athletes being the best and winning .. I dont mind seeing the odd person come last but thats no what its about or they wouldnt have any standards to qualify to compete

They're filling the schedules with all sorts this morning because the events are thinning out. They've just featured yesterdays waterpolo match on BBC 3. | | | |

Nobody is saying you should treat Rushida's medal the same as his countryman Kitum's. It was an astounding feat, a true Olympian. But you surely don't require a medal table to make that distinction, it's simply implicit understanding. The margins between places are so fine I don't think we should simply disregard competitors who fail to finish first - seems like a very dodgy philosophy to me. A lot of fine British athletes have managed a silver or bronze. What about Gemma Gibbon's incredible silver medal in the judo? Or had you forgotten about her already? | |
