JoshMartini007 2,381 Posted July 25, 2019 #981 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's just easier for those sites to take the top 3 from each event and construct a medal table. They would have to factor in how big of a favourite each nation would be in each event and I imagine for some events they would have little data to create a proper distribution.

They have huge amounts of data (Gracenote at least) for every Olympic sport, surely they could do better.

There are just so damn many things at the same time. They already have stuff on the prior wednesday-friday. Just have the opening ceremony on a tuesday (the TV audience would much more like that, than on a friday) and start a few other sports from wednesday. Swimming and athletics cross-matching on 3 days is a no-no. Also i wish just once, that wrestling is in the beginning and judo is in the second half. Always starting with judo in every multi-sport event.. Sindo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes down to money, most buyers are satisfied with the level of service (and lack of other options) and for the most part, their results aren't too terrible overall. Besides, if a nation over/underperforms they can easily claim/blame that difference on the athletes. It's just not worth their time and money to create a better table that won't differ too much. If I had all the time and money in the world I wouldn't mind giving a crack at it, but alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, swimming has morning finals, so nothing important will cross. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Men's 20 km will be held from 6 to 7:30 AM, way ahead of swimming. I guess many corporate lawyers will watch that before going to work in downtown Tokyo.
