Map of Olympic Medals
Is the US the only country in which "overall medals tally" seems to be the standard way of listing the medals table (I notice it's this way on Yahoo too)? It seems everywhere else lists them in order of number of golds won (ties broken by silvers and then bronzes). And has it always been this way or is it just this year, with the USA well behind China on the "normal" tables and actually just ahead on the US version?
Not meant as a dig, I'm genuinely intrigued.

Reading up a bit on past Olympics, I actually had no idea that they had 'Art competitions' at the Games from 1912-1948.
A gold medal for 'town planning', or for designing the stadium used for that year's Olympics. Brilliant.
