USA leading medals table, say NBC
- Thread starter Part 2
- Start date

This went well.
I've seen some outlets doing that before: even if it's the IOC standard, after all, it's a "medals table" not a "olympic titles" table, and I've questioned myself a few times why they're often sorted by the golds.
As I don't know if this was a knee-jerk reaction for the US being pretty average outside the pools or if they always measured like that, I won't comment if this is an attempt to whitewash the bad results after bragging about "beating them in their own turf", and NBC avoiding an audience drop.

Whatever NBC. They obviously can't admit how badly USA have been doing compared to normal.

Pleasant and unpatronising
Old news - this is being discussed in the Medals Table thread.

Have they always done it like this? Or is it a reaction to being pwned by China this year I wonder?

OK, they already sorted medals by total 4 years ago. Same in 2006, so I guess it's just their internal policy.

But aussies do the table the same way as we do, i read in the medals thread, so it should be like that worldwide.

I agree it should be done one way, but why just because the Aussies do it?
Along with loads of other things.
It's alright to discuss it here too, come on in your welcome

Apparently as LC posted in the other thread,most other countries follow the way the BBC does it to.

i thought they did it by golds on the official site?
poersonally for the first time im happy there doing it on golds as we are winning a hefty portion of gold...
i remeber in atlanta when we had abot 30 medals and only one gold i was pissed off there were teams with just one medal above us.
well i say pissed off.... i actually cried for 6 weeks became a recluse and made 10,000 gold medals out of loo roll and pva glue....*twitch*
