I did a simple math equasion treating medals in a manner similar to grades in college, assigning a value of 3 for gold, 2 for silver, and 1 for bronze (like credit points) then dividing the total by the # of medals won. China comes out to 2.36 while the US comes out to 1.91, giving China the higher GPA in medals.
Still this is flawed because someone who won only one medal can get a perfect GPA of 3 (the highest in this equasion since 3 = gold) with winning only one medal as long as it is gold. Does winning only one medal make a country better than the US in medals? no. What it does is serves to point out the flaws of declaring a winner with fewer medals because of the average of gold medals.
