Canada paying them to do that?

>Not putting gold first.

NBC is shit.

They're this retarded for free.

GB BTFO.

they should use another point system
>bronze : 1p
>silver : 2p
>gold : 3p

>having more silvers and bronzes than golds
losers

THIS! FUCKING THIS FRENCH CROISSANT! I SHALL NOT BO YOU NO MORE

It's impressive that Russia managed to get in the top 4 having about half its delegation banned. The krauts sent two times as many athletes and still couldn't beat them.

>"""""""""""""""""great""""""""""""""""" britian

>2 silvers > 1 Gold

Naw, m8

>win 200 bronze medal but no gold medal
>become the highest ranked nation

Well, winning 200 bronzes would be actually quite impressive

1 gold = 4 silvers = 16 bronze

Everyone knows this.

it's way harder to win 4 silvers than 1 gold, it's fucking harder than hell to win 16 bronze than 4 silver.

>Britain came 1st more than China
>Britain came 2nd more than China
>China came 3rd more than Britain
>So according to NBC, China had a more successful Olympics

WELL DONE AMERIFATS WELL DONE

Nations are limited to 2 athletes in most events. USA coulda swept the podium on MANY events had we been allowed to include our 3rd best athlete. As a result, bronze medals should be seen as near worthless.

OP just clicked here, NBC shows Britain 2nd...

Its about being on the podium, not about finishing first, m8

No it doesn't, total is the default

kek, sure m8

why would they do this?

>""""""""""special"""""""""" relationship

It stems from 2008 when China btfo them in golds.

Can't have the population thinking the USA isn't #1

why do americans always rape in the olympics even way back in the early 1900's before niggers were common place?

LEAFS WIN AGAIN

gold is the only one that matters

>tfw all our favourites choked top 10 away
>we literally got 11th

Who else but chokeland

>Can't have the population thinking the USA isn't #1
Basically this, thats why they invest so much money to train their athletes and doping them.
Same shit with China and Russia. 3 countries where only appearance is important.

Thanks China!

there's no "official" medal table so some do this, others give 5/3/1 respectively
all bullshit 2bh
gold > silver > bronze is the only thing that matters

>Americans

Nah, NBC have been pulling this shit ever since america got btfo in beijing

we had to equalize the host nation bias and the 12 y/o gymnasts

Except you're full of shit and pushing that narrative without evidence because it makes you feel better about being losers.

For example:

nytimes.com/interactive/2008/08/04/sports/olympics/20080804_MEDALCOUNT_MAP.html

Go back to older rankings like 1996, and see that it's ordered by total medals despite the US leading in both total AND gold. 2008 was not the first time they did that.

>why do americans always rape in the olympics even way back in the early 1900's before niggers were common place?
Because the events are stacked to make it easier for Americans to win more medals. If there were 34 shooting events instead of bullshit swimming competitions then Japan and Korea would have 'raped' every single Olympics instead.

>not ranking by gold medals

>hey do you want to trade my 1 gold and 6 silver for 9 bronze coins

What, you're talking out of your ass. We get crap for funding. No government funding at all. Private funding goes only to the sports people care about, so athletics and swimming and women's gymnastics. We don't and can't pump out cash explicitly for the purpose of winning medals like other countries do. Rowing and sailing isn't going to get any funding just because there's so many opportunities to medal, no one fucking cares. China and Britain right now are the biggest culprits of using mass state funding just to pump out some medals in sports they don't even care about just so they can look good in front of the world.

British men won more golds than American men

It really triggers me how American media counts total medals rather than gold, to be honest mates.

male gold > female gold > everything else.

Texas shits on most countries in the gold count.

gold in non-meme events > british gold > womens gold

weighted medals is almost as bad as total medals.
fuck participation awards, golds matter.

>not 1, 3, 7
lmao

i bet that, per capita, they'd be close to the top, huh?

looks like britain got cucked by Mao

I actually get mad when sites rank bronze equal to gold

>Britain has more golds than chinamen

proud of you, mom

Here's the medal standings according to BILD.

>omitting Russia
what did they mean by this?

is this real?

Phelps, Biles, and Ledecky aren't Texan so that means at least 80% of your other medals came from Texas?

>put them above china
>tie on gold
>lose on silver
>lose on bronze
>lose on total
>lose on alphabet

>muh capita

God damn right.
