That's fun.
We need some alternative medal contests, as the official one is like a Chelsea-Man Utd final, booing China or hissing the USA. China vs the EU is a pretty close contest, as is Russia versus ex-USSR. -

Smashing. If NI doubles its medals tally, they'll pull level with The People's Caledonian Republic of Chris Hoy.Comment

Flipping trough that map for previous olympics, I found to my surprise that East and West Germany competed as a united team at the Olympics until 1964.
Selecting a team must have been very complicated.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
