So people from whichever country will shut up about whose 10 bronzes outweighs whose 2 golds and all that bullshit. Medal totals quantified.

Bronze = 1 Silver = 2 Gold = 3

Totals:

1) China: 26(3) + 9(2) + 6(1) = 102

2) USA: 15(3) + 14(2) + 19(1) = 92

3) S. Korea: 6(3) + 9(2) + 3(1) = 39
Australia: 5(3) + 7(2) + 10(1) = 39

4) Russia: 4(3) + 8(2) + 8(1) = 36

Comment too long. Clickhereto view the full text.

arbitrary numbers are arbitrary. Also that doesn't change the order, they still remain the same.

No it doesn't Eurofag troll.

Any scoring system that doesn't place America the greatest, best country God has ever given man on the face of the Earth is flawed.

USA FTW!!!!

i don't think there should be a directly linear difference between the three medal values. something exponential makes more sense

Shut up Math fag.

All medals are equally weighted, as shown by the official medal count provided by NBC sports.

Take your butthurt elsewhere.

Exponential would be 1 2 4 for example or 1 3 9

Why bronze in position zero? I vote for 2 4 8, or perhaps some sort of logarithmic scale.
>> Anonymous
>>256188
Because it yields the same order.
If bronze were 2, you'd just double the points for everyone.

>>256188
because people care infinitely more about getting gold than bronze.

Here's something to chew on: In order to win all those Golds, China obsessively trains its athletes in state-funded facilities from the time they're toddlers. America doesn't, because its values aren't that warped. So, the question is, does America want to sink to China's level in order to keep winning?

Not even remotely my point, dumbass. Why should we invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in a state school so that our 16-year old girl can beat their 12-year old girl in gymnastics. There are better places to spend that money.

You guys are morons I'm a statitician and the scoring should be:
Bronze=2
Silver=4
Gold=6

Maybe you fifth graders should learn some maths idiots.

Protip: America spends far more money and time on their Olympics sports programs than any other country on that list, including China (given the currency ratio). Way to debunk your own point.
