Logical fallacy is a logical fallacy.
Here, have some copypasta:
The point I hear from most of the LOL GOLDS ONLY people is that medal tables somehow make Bronze medals as important as Gold medals. Logical fallacy right there.
If a country gets the most Golds, but loses the overall medal count, it shows that they're only concerned with easy wins in obscure sports, or they have 1-2 wunderkinds that win shit, with no depth. The total count is more important because it shows that a country has good athletes across the board, and therefore is athletically superior.
Do you really think a country that gets nothing but Golds, say, Track and Field, but no other medals, should be considered greater than a country that has three times as many medals overall?
The Olympics are about OVERALL athleticism, not a few events in which a country stacks the odds or simply funds with national money for easy wins.
