The medals table looks nice and everyone gets crazy about it, but it really is just one side of the story.

And especially a story that's often big among people who don't really watch the sports that often :p 

 

I dare say I've followed the Olympics insanely intense, basically every single day from 07:30 or so to around midnight, with very limited moments for anything else in between...let's say an average of around 15 hours a day for a little over two full weeks. Yet only yesterday did I realize the 'fight' for top spot at the medal table was actually close, I had no idea :d 

 

As far as it's really a fight of course, I really doubt individual athletes/teams care that much about it....it's probably more like a nice bonus if their country does well in general, but if they had their own competition already and didn't reach their goals, that won't be made up by someone in a totally different sport doing well :p 

 

In the end, overall medal tables are more for the general public in the big media as a fun thing to follow.

It's kind of crazy for France to have as many Top 8 as China, but more than two time less gold medals. Or for Spain to have as many Top 8 as SK, but almost three times less golds.

TeamNL has 41 fewer top 8 places than Germany, but wins one medal more.

2 can play this game

 

Brady Ellison lost a gold on cm's

Nevin Harrison lost in a photo finish

Biles fell of a beam and stepped out on the floor.  

Lyles lost the 200 gold because of covid

Triathlon mixed relay photo finish loss

 

Not to mention the swimming mixed relay that was a doped medal ( will be eventually returned to usa once congress is done with ioc)

Kate Douglass won 200m breaststroke as WR holder and women's with fastest times this year was banned as she os Russian.

The lack of Russians helped China more.    Russia would've won the golds in artistic swimming and rhythmic gymnastics

Paris 2024 was the 4th Games (Sommer+Winter) where i did not care about the medal table. And enjoyed the Games and sport very much. (well Eurosport, Max, DiscoverPlus (branding may vary by region) has destroyed it for me by showing the medal table at pauses in the broadcast.)

 

It weird concept to me, summing medals from team and individual sports, sports with a lot of same-but-little-different events or lot of different weight classes etc.

Yeah, a lot of people don't care about sport, games, about the athletes, about the competition, but just care about a number in a table.  There is a plenty of statistic on the world ranking countries - why not interested about that?

Thanks for doing this btw, I found it very interesting & actually useful because it demonstrates which nations compete in a broad range of sports & which are specialising in a small number.

Are there actually nations that have tons of hobby divers? Never heard of it, same is true for sports like modern pentathlon, track cycling or ski jumping.

Well, here in Britain we have Diving Clubs and even an annual national regional cup series.  So there is a grassroots scene.

:UZB Uzbekistan also had their best Games ever and so much better than in Tokyo. Their stronghold is boxing, but also have done very good in the other combat sports. Once again the motto of "know what you are good at". I think they were slightly pushed in some boxing matches, but in general their fighters are amongst the best in this version of boxing.

 

 

 

 

Certainly illustrates the importance of having corrupt & violent mafiosi controlling the judging pool.

CHN won the edition  with 40 Gold 

 

 

I think China shouldn’t be satisfied with the results here. By now they should be ahead of the U.S., given how good they already were in 2008. China is inexistent in a lot of sports with tons of medals (athletics, rowing, judo, track cycling).


Number of top 8 finishes in women’s track events (athletics):

France: 6

Netherlands: 6

Jamaica: 6

China: 0

Even Japan is lightyears ahead of China in track events.

 

Time of the fastest :CHN athlete in women’s 800 m this year: 2:01.88

 

Time of the 13th fastest :GBR athlete in women’s 800 m this year: 2:01.69

 

Time of the second fastest :CHN athlete in women’s 800 m this year: 2:04.46

 

Time of the 23rd fastest :GBR athlete in women’s 800 m this year: 2:04.22

 

Time of the fastest :CHN athlete in women’s 1500 m this year: 4:15.62

 

Time of the 31st fastest :GBR athlete in women’s 1500 m this year: 4:15.50

 

Time of the 2nd fastest :CHN athlete in women’s 1500 m this year: 4:20.83

 

Time of the 52nd fastest :GBR athlete in women’s 1500 m this year: 4:20.67

They should try their luck at athletics, but the U.S. probably wouldn’t like that …

Maybe Uzbekistan could naturalize some russian gymnasts/race runners.

    • Tech of spy and killing 
    • HA, shitty food indeed, however we bring something to the world that no arab countries do, Every big tech company working with israeli inventions, google israeli tech and medicine inventions, you'll be surprised, better put your phone down because both Apple and Google invest in israel
    • Gonna call your terrorist friends? Watch out for your pager!   We only killed when trying to get to Hammas that are hiding in civilian population, in Mosques, under hospitals, inside kitchens. The arab world is the one always trying to get into a fight, but every time they start something we knock them out and they start crying to the world, it's no longer working, we simply don't care. in 1948 we were attacked, we won, in 1967 we were attacked we won (while winning the Golan Heights and Sinai which we gave back 7 years later) and in October 7th your buddies decided to fuck around, so now they found out that we are not to be messed with, Iran is jumping now that Nasrallah's death will be avenged, well, i'm looking forward to that
    • They did all that with money of Mcdonalds/starbucks/coa cola ...shty food 
    • and do not quote my comments again 
    • They kill Palestinians all the time during the year from 1948 , steal their houses and richness , torture innocents in jail including kids , they created terrorism to destroy the area ...etc ..etc and they will stop til they kill everyone in this planet according to this telmoud  now world understand what Adolf did       
    • No, it's not, because the other side are openly calling for extermination of Israel and jews, while, if given a chance we would love the whole region to be together and work together, on trade and other things   What do you think the ABRAHAM ACCORDS are? attempt to normalize the region, and if not for October 7th (or biden's election), then Saudi Arabia would've been a part of it. so 100000% Hammas and Hizballah are the bad guys , and even suggesting that Israel are not really shows that you don't understand the region and not truly know what's happening there, and rather parroting what you hear from the media or see on social media.   And if you think that it's a Netanyahu thing, it's not, not even close, the Israeli elected officials support it. Up until 2 months ago, the leader of the opposition Benny Ganz was in a unity government, Leaders of the left like Yair Lapid support the current work in Lebanon.    
    • "We"     But yeah, just saying "oh its war, we are the good guys, just defending ourselves" isn't different to what the 'other side' says. Very plain, very simple: both Netanyahu and his cronies and the terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah and so on have insane amounts of blood on their hands. They can try to wash it by saying "but the other guys are worse!", but that doesn't work.   Oh well, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I did, I'd be happy knowing where these 'leaders' will end up, all in the same place.
    • What we did was a payback, we don't have a drop of blood on our hands, they started something October 7th, they thought the pressure from the world and USA will deter us, but it's not going to, we simply don't give a fuck anymore. The blood is on the hands of Hammas, Hizballah, Iran, Qatar and other terror enablers like our terrorist friend over here. This is WAR, and innocent people die in war. Unlike other wars the ratio of terrorists to civillians is much better then any other war.   The amazing pager operation was an example of how we target the terrorists specifically.   It's very easy for Hammas and Hizballah to stop the war in about 10 minutes, give up arms, release hostages and we will stop before the beginning of the hour, but they won't do that. So they will get everything that is coming to them.    
    • Not sure where to post this, but Greece is rewarding all athletes who finished in the top 8 in Paris. 30.000 euros for gold medalists, 20.000 for silver, 15.000 for bronze, and 10.000 for athletes finishing 4th-8th. If you were part of a team, then you only get half the amount.   So this means: 30.000-Apostolos Christou (20.000 + 10.000), Miltiadis Tentoglou 15.000-Emmanouil Karalis, Dauren Kurugliev, Eleftherios Petrounias, Theodoros Tselidis 10.000-Kristian Gkolomeev, Theodora Gkountoura, Emmanouela Katzouraki, Stefanos Ntouskos, Stefanos Tsitsipas 7.500-each member of Fitsiou/Kontou and Gkaidatzis/Papakonstantinou teams 5.000-each member of Anastasiadou/Bourmpou, Malkogeorgou/Platanioti, men's basketball, men's water polo, and women's water polo teams   It's nothing extravagant like other countries do, but some nice bonuses for these athletes, except of course Tsitsipas and the men's basketball players which really don't need this money.
