How very basic.

 

I think the IOC doesn't allow for very original designs for Summer Olympic medals (but apparently this is not a rule for Winter Olympics). I heard some rumors that the Rio 2016 first design tried to incorporate wood to the medals but wasn't allowed, which for better or worse led to a fairly basic final design.

This is a change from previous Olympics, where they were transparent in providing all countries and their medalists 

Their whole system of coming up with a medal table is flawed anyway, so why bother

Yeah I remember the horror show that were those medals that looked like a freight train had run over it..

I would have to agree with you because they have predicted India to win 14 medals. I am unable to think how did they come to this conclusion.

Well, that's not what I mean, since pretty much everyone from every country reacts with "No way *insertpersonscountry* can win this many medals!" which would mean we'll end up with 80 medals not being won by anyone

A twitter user asked the same question on their profile.

They only give out information about who will win medals to clients, but sometimes also some medias.

Here is the thread:

 

 

 

 

 

Clients for this bullshit even us in a forum can do (and better than them)?

How is Sindo not rich by now?
