I stumbled across a sports article from a US publication and thought it interesting that it showed the USA leading the medals table.

Instead of the regular table that gives weight to Gold, silver and bronze, they just see total medals.

I sorta like it. Celebrating all medal winners equally is nice. It feels a little like fudging the numbers, though.

It's awesome seeing them and Great Britain below us on the real medal tally.

Don't get too excited, the water events will finish soon and our medal tally will slow right down. Happens every time. 😁

Yeah I know but it's nice at the moment.
