Let's come up with a medal scoring system, approved by Sup Forums.
Only golds count idea is flawed. A country that won 1 gold in horse dancing, sailing or synchronized swimming did not have a better Olympics than a country that won 30 silvers and no golds in actual sports.
Also, winning a with a nice spread in golds, silvers, and bronzes illustrates a well rounded performance and a country capable of challenging in many events.
I like 10, 5, 1.
Samuel Harris
1 pt per medal.
Nicholas Hill
5/3/1 is optimal.
Bentley Collins
I like 5/3/1
Ayden Cooper
1 gold in dog dick sucking is worth more than all the silver and bronze in actual sports
just the way it is
Camden Barnes
Gold - 1 Silver - 0 Bronze - 0
Hudson Myers
I prefer 3/2/1.
Gabriel Barnes
>being defeated in several events illustrates a well rounded performance
Ryan Collins
10 2 1
Xavier Hall
this desu silver is the first loser bronze is the second only gold matters
Parker Young
Oh yeah, much, much better to get blown-the-fuck out in the qualifiers and never even compete for a medal.
Julian Howard
10 -4 -2
Wyatt Baker
7/3/1
Adam Cruz
>Giving points for losing
Nice proxy, lad
Ian Kelly
If you're going that route, then a weighted gold system is the only option.
A horse dancing medal isn't worth as medal as the 100m.
Equestrian medals shouldn't even be tallied.
Luis Rogers
per capita
Kayden Moore
Pretty sure all our horse riders can swim. Stick Michael Phelps on a horse and see if he can make it dance.
James Wilson
I agree, I think bronzes should be weighted very highly.
Especially in team sports where you win bronze but lose silver.
Bronze is a pretty great medal colour, if there's no gold nearby and the lighting is poor people can even think it might be gold. Bronze was also used to make armor and weapons. There's absolutely no shame in a country winning so many bronze medals.
Carson Martinez
5/3/1 is the system, someone tally this shit now
Joshua Nguyen
Gold medals of sports with 2 events should be worth 20 points. Medals of sports with 10 events should be worth 4 points. Medals of sports with 40 events should be worth 1 point, and so on.
Noah Thompson
You lazy, fat cunt
Dylan Taylor
2 bronze = 1 silver 2 silver = 1 gold
4/2/1
If I had to choose. I mean, really, gold is all that matters.
Zachary Scott
Gold = 9008 Silver = 130 Bronze = 1
Jackson Watson
I dont know where some my fellow hues get that mentality from
Noah Rodriguez
I like this one. Two silvers shouldn't be worth more than one fond.
