Just heard a really eerie thing. The final count for China's medals shows the time and date of the Sichuan Earthquake. 51 21 28 May 12, 1:28pm

Counting a bronze medal equally as a gold medal seems kind of silly. What's the point in even fighting for first place then, if third place also gives you a +1 medal? This year is the first time ever i have seen these kind of tallies on the US internet. Go figure..

Says who? I have seen both ways. This is "Medal Count" not "Gold Medal Count."

And aren't you supposed to rank countries by their number of gold medals not total number of medals?

yeah, i've been looking for one for a while, too. The NBC one is just so horribly shaped, and big and ugly and red. I can't bare to put it on my site.
