Shouldn’t China be seen as tied for first in golds?

Good point, I guess the author missed that and forgot to indicate a tie

When golds are equal, silvers are used to break ties.

Ties go to the USA

Thank you for doing that. It always bothered me that most outlets would display “1st” as whoever had the most golds. So if one country had 0 golds but 10 silvers they’d get put below a country that had a single gold and no other medals. I liked the weighted approach by type of medal. The others are just fun to look at too.

The Franco-British rivalry in the first three categories is perfect
