[quote=BBQQ,314476]The medal table made by New York Times. They introduce "medal points" to rank the countries' olympic medals:1 point for every bronze medal won, double that to a 2-point award for every silver medal won, and double that again to a 4-point award for every gold medal won. To get much info, you can have a look at this page: http://olympics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/the-medal-rankings-which-country-leads-the-olympics/ According to their medal table, China topped as No.1 in the chart on Monday. Country Pts G-S-B Tot 1 China 198 39-14-14 67 2 United States 162 22-24-26 72 3 Australia 76 11-10-12 33 4 Russia 73 8-13-15 36 5 Britain 72 12-7-8 27 6 Germany 57 9-7-7 23 7 South Korea 56 8-9-6 23 8 France 51 4-11-13 28 9 Japan 49 8-5-7 20 10 Italy 42 6-6-6 18 It sounds good. But I am wondering why the medal table on its website are the same as others. This is a screenshot of its website.[/quote]
