This does create somewhat odd results such as Brazil (1 gold) ranking ahead of Finland (1 silver, 5 bronzes), but its how the IOC does it.
Early modern Olympics only awarded gold and silver. Some sports (e.g. U.S. Figure Skating apparently) give medals for fourth. Under 'gold first' the results stay essentially the same, just more detailed, no matter how many places we deem worthy of counting. Under 'total medals' they can vary wildly.
Appreciate that opinions on this subject vary wildly too though. Just my 2 coppers.
Anyway, congrats to Norway for storming the competition yet again, no matter how you count it. You guys must have an Olympic medal each at this point...!
If you want a 'total medals won' quiz you can make it. But this is the way the medal table is ordered by the IOC and most of the world, so there's nothing wrong with the quiz title.
I follow tennis mostly. Andy Murray won 3 grand slams and was the runner up 8 times. Does that mean he won 7 grand slams? No, it means he's got a shelf full of shiny plates.
Or England were the runners up in the last two Euros. Does that mean we have the same number of wins as Portugal? I'd love it... but no.
The athletes all want gold. If they can't get that, many are fine with any medal. Very rarely does a country not try to win gold (there was a case of China in the speed skating team pursuit backing off their semifinal because they didn't think they would win [they wouldn't] and if they did try, they would lose the bronze; they won the bronze and celebrated like they won gold).
Finland had a more successful Olympics than Brazil or Kazakhstan did. Poland and New Zealand also were more successful than Brazil or Kazakhstan.
Everyone wants gold, but if silver and bronze don't matter, why are they given? In Tokyo, Bermuda, Morocco, and Puerto Rico won a gold medal each. That was their only medal of the Olympics. Namibia won a single silver Kazakhstan won eight bronzes, and apparently had a worse Olympics than the above countries.
Brazil won a single event. Finland won no events, but had good runner up positions in a few. Stated differently, Brazil was the best in the world at something. Finland was best in the world at nothing, but came close in a few events. Extrapolate for all the other examples.
It will get better at some point @Dimby.
But when you pioneer a sport and see all these other teams beating you in it, it really hurts. England in football, cricket, and rugby; the US in baseball; and now the Canadians in hockey.
Don't get me wrong, both Canadian hockey teams in 2026 were stacked. They just ran out of gas at the worst possible moment.
Would have been win win
The rule is not vague or unknown: you can't touch the stone twice. The Canadian curler deliberately gave the stone an extra poke after letting it go, knowing full well he was breaking the rule. It wasn't inadvertent. It was a deliberate attempt to skirt the rules.
So IMO, it 100% is appropriate to say he was cheating. The fact that he responded like a total scumbag makes me even more comfortable with that label.
Because the whole thing blew up World Curling, under pressure, clarified the rule to say that touching the granite when the stone is in forward motion is a foul.
But it seems that the wider curling community think this is nonsense and has led to perfectly fine stones being disqualified. No one who curls seems to think his gentle touch made any difference at all.
His reaction didn't help though, and probably helped cause the situation to blow up to the point that WC implanted the stricter rule.
However, this is the frickin' Olympics. You are arguably on the most well-known team in the world. You know the rules. Everyone is watching. You're a petulant brat when you're caught. And you do it again? Puh-lease. How embarrassing. That points to habit, not accident. Some penalties should have been enforced.
Or Jamaica in track, Kenya in long distance running, Australia in swimming, Turkey in weight lifting, etc.
Of course, there's also Norway winning everything...
