I stumbled across a sports article from a US publication and thought it interesting that it showed the USA leading the medals table.
Instead of the regular table that gives weight to Gold, silver and bronze, they just see total medals.
I sorta like it. Celebrating all medal winners equally is nice. It feels a little like fudging the numbers, though.
And in the end it was all a bit for naught - since they now top the table using a normal measure anyway.
