That was a p great way to clinch it

Medal counts are dumb anyway. Just dominated by swimming forming 78463982734 events with every possible permutation of strokes and distances.

Like if there was also a 150m dash and a 75m dash and a 4x2 relay usain bolt would have twice as many golds.

Also having all the different strokes seems weird. The goal is to swim from A to B as quickly as possible, why is there a different stroke count? It's like race walking (which is being deleted as an event I think after this year) in addition to regular running

Like if high jump had one competetion for the fosbury flop and one for jumping straight over face first, and one for jumping over feet first or something and gave out 3 medals for that, and if there was a 100m dash, then also a 100m dash where you had to put your hands on your head, then a 100m dash where you had to hop on one foot or something. The goal of high jump is to jump over the thing, why you gonna give somebody a gold who does a worse job while simultaneously handicapping themselves with a bad technique?

so silly

a simple 3-2-1 point system would be best

and I was wondering why the boxer last night who lost the semi-final automatically got a bronze

anyone with a normal brain looks at it in total medals

Bronze > no medal

it's like saying going 4-0 in the SB is better than 6-3

It's most golds that's it

so you value not medaling over a bronze?

No, it's saying going 7-0 in Superbowls is better than 6-3

Prizm keeping up the "stop the steal" mantra of his political views into how we should count medals as well.

What about the non medalist? You think not medaling is > bronze? You value China's... *checks list* no medal in soccer?

Uhh no? I, and everyone aside from the US, values China's 34 golds over USA's 29 golds

USA 184
China 166

USA won total golds in 12 and 16 btw

The IOC do their ranking by gold medals, it makes more sense than total medals and it's just the way it is. China is #1

Counterpoint USA#1!

it's about bringing home hardware. silver and bronze are hardware.

the athletes actually stand on a podium and get a medal put around their neck (except for this Olympics where they put the medal around their own necks). they fly their flag (except for Russian flags) and the athlete, wearing their hardware, gaze at their flag and some of them cry.

Canada's Warner with the decathlon win!

Female 10 metre diving finals, 14 year old Chinese girl with straight 10s across the board on multiple dives. These people are full on nuts

the same normal brain as half the American population who voted Trump?

Where's baids? The 50k race walking is on and people have already **** their pants

3-2-1 doesn't accurately encapsulate the value of Gold over Silver. 4-2-1 or probably 5-2-1 would be a better valuation.

peepee or poopoo

lol GOLD is like 5 silver and 14 bronze so china still #1, i don't get why there is only 3 places, coming 4th should matter too. should give them a metal too haha. do we remember 2nd or 3rd place team itlr. barely its all about getting the gold. ask people who came 2nd how many 2nd they would give up to get a gold. should see the compensation difference from gold and 2nd

women's soccer final in 9 minutes
