  1. Meanwhile, Australians busy figuring out new way to sort medals so that the US is not 1st

  2. As close as it gets for the gold race! 1pt victory for the right to tie. Not particularly close in title medals but alas it made it exciting

  3. In an “underperformance” of a year the US topped the medal table and won the second most medals since 1908. LA 2028 is going to be insane. 

  4. After watch the USA whiff on like 3 golds I watched before this last basketball game I was getting nervous. What a way to pull it off! U.S. women;in general dominated this Olympics!

  5. If it’s a mdal table, shouldn’t we count.. All medals, not just gold?

    Otherwise, call it a gold medal table

  6. China made the most of Russia not being there. US amazing as always. See you all in four years

  7. Granted it was specifically a silver tie breaker…..but this going down the way it does has to irk so many that hate that we’ve always been shown the medal tables as total medals and not just total gold 😂

  8. There is one silver medal missing for France which makes the total of medals 64 instead

  9. 14 of those gold medals for the US come from Track & Field. The Americans were unstoppable, the only individual men’s event that they didn’t medal in was the 800 where Bryce Hoppel was 4th in an American Record time.

  10. I think if there is a tie on Gold they look at Silver, if there is also a tie then they look at the Bronze, however, it rarely ever gets down to the bronze. Wow! the US reach 40 in Gold, Silver and Bronze

  11. Honestly I really don’t care about total medal count. I just want to see amazing feats of athleticism

  12. That’s the second time after the 1904 Olympics that a country ends up with at least 40 golds, 40 silvers and 40 bronzes. Which is even more impressive when you consider that in the 1904 Olympics the US had something like 90% of total athletes (threw a dumb number around, it’s probably wrong, but I’m not as much off as one would think). You’re not supposed to be this good at sports, even if you’ve dominated the medal table in almost any edition. Insane

  13. 3-2-1 points allocation should be how we rank the tables from now on. Ignoring silvers and bronzes is so weird to me.

  14. Strange point system. The UK has twice many medals as the Dutch and one less gold and have finished below them.
