Official Bronze
what is the official way to rank nations at the olympic ?
first of all the ranking of nations based on medal count means nothing, some rank nations based on how many medals they got and other rank them on how many gold medal they got.
neither of those methods makes senses, because if turkey for example had two great athletes in a specific sport and got only two gold medal and Italy had 1 gold,9 silver and 8 bronze, then turkey would be considered a better nation ??? Just because they got one more gold medal???
And I am sorry to say for Britain but counting 4 gold medals in one event just because it was a team makes no sense either when comparing nations.
their should be a simple method of doing it, by giving 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze and giving one medal count per final and not for each athlete in a team.
the official IOC table counts gold medals first so if a country has only one medal but it happens to be gold then it would go above a country which had no gold but loads of silvers. It’s only the US media that is ranking the table on ‘total medals won’
Also the UK has won gold in 12 different events: We don’t count one as four (I take it you mean the team pursuit)
Golds won by the UK
Women’ road Race
Women’s 200m freestyle
Women’s 800m freestyle
Men’s team sprint (cycling)
Men’s team pursuit (cycling)
Men’s individual pursuit (cycling)
men’s keirin (cycling)
Women’s individual pursuit
Sailing fin class
sailing Yngling class
rowing men’s coxless four
rowing men’s lightweight four
That makes twelve events won by the UK and twelve gold medals.
