Just kidding. This is a very very long debate which goes far beyond my country is better than yours. Officially, the IOC is forbidden to release medal tables by their charter. There is no OFFICIAL version from the IOC. They've been 'unofficially' releasing them since about 1992, and then in the 'gold first' standard. Some smaller countries like gold first as they can get just 1 gold and move quite far up the table, ahead of a country that has say 3 silvers and 7 bronzes. Others hate gold first as it is being used as an excuse to cut funding for non-gold possible sports. I blogged about it yesterday here and you should also read the WSJ piece on this (the link is in my post--don't want to post two links as that will spam catch this comment) http://penguinsix.com/2008/08/18/the-olympic-medal-table-race-more-golds-or-more-medals/ It’s you.
