发帖数: 2220 | 1 The Olympics do a bad job of rewarding the country that turns in the best
all-around performance, across all sports. Why not, at the closing
ceremonies, drape gold, silver and bronze medals around athletes from the
top three nations? It would be a fitting final act for the Games.
But how do you rank the countries? What if you had a situation like Beijing,
where the U.S. won the most medals, but China won the most golds? Well, I
would like to propose a ranking system that my grade-school summer camp used
in its version of the Olympics (while also proposing that one of our events
— “who can hold their breath underwater the longest?” — become an
Olympic sport). Give five points for each gold medal, three for silver, one
for bronze. Pretty fair and easy, no? Under such a system, China would have
edged the U.S., 346-330, in 2008.
In London, however, no math needed. The U.S. won the Olympics, hands down. | B*****t
