gold: 13 silver: 9 bronze: 13 total: 35
this must be one of the best olymics ever for aus
anyways.... china, usa and japan have a way bigger population...say if new zeland won 3 gold medals, its better than usa winning 15 gold medals, coz of the gold medal/population ratio. ...thats my opinion though!

ye thats a thought, we only have 18 mill people and have 35 or wateva medals, but usa has liek 250 mil and only has like 5-10 more than us, so we are going very goodJuble wrote:gold: 13 silver: 9 bronze: 13 total: 35

all the east germans were goosed up on steroids..tijsjoris wrote:I thought there lived 22 million people there in kangarooland. I find it very good from Germany to still stand high while some years there this country didn't even exist! Together with just germany and west and east germany it would've been much more medals and higher ranking.
ez first gold medal ever to israel today!

Yay Australia got 4th...
Someone recently told me that the medal tally ranking is roughly proportional to GDP per capita, and has little to do with population. I think this is almost right, except for China. Culture would also play a part in deciding how much money is spent on sport. Japan obviously spent alot more money on sport in the last 4 years, they got 11 more gold than in Sydney and moved from 15th to 5th.

Don't you think the way they calculate the medal lists are wrong? The ones with the most golds go first, only if some countries has the same amount golds they look how many silvers and bronze a country got.
If they counted like Gold = 3 points, Silver = 2 and Bronze = 1 and added that together it would be much more fair.

I'd rather 1 gold over 1 silver + 1 bronze; what about Gold=0.75, Silver=0.2, and Bronze=0.05? That way gold is still very important, and the medal list pretty much stays the same, but for example Latvia (4s) would be beating Ireland (1g) and equal to Israel (1g,1b). This is equivalent to g=15, s=4, b=1.zworgy wrote:Don't you think the way they calculate the medal lists are wrong?

Well, there are two official lists. The one based on medals, and the one based on points.zworqy wrote:Don't you think the way they calculate the medal lists are wrong?

yes, but then it's 1 point for all medals...SveinR wrote:Well, there are two official lists.

after about 30km your body gets really fucked up, and especially after he's been running 36km at a faster pace than most people can sprint 1km, being grabbed by some mongo would definitely fuck him up enough to lose two placesJohn wrote:but the incident didnt effect the result I think, he wouldnt have been able to hold his 1st position anyway...
It would yes. But having not being pushed away would have fucked him up anyway when others took over his place with just running faster at the last km's.m0nkeii wrote:after about 30km your body gets really fucked up, and especially after he's been running 36km at a faster pace than most people can sprint 1km, being grabbed by some mongo would definitely fuck him up enough to lose two placesJohn wrote:but the incident didnt effect the result I think, he wouldnt have been able to hold his 1st position anyway...
