Olympics Viewing Schedule and Medal Count

Current medal count:



Before the freak out know China in the Winters games just like the Summer games is front-loaded and will finish 9-10 in medal count when the dust settles. The US should be somewhere between 2 and 4, likely 3 depending on how Canada and Germany fair as time goes on.

China surges to the top of the medal count.

While I agree on the conditions based on the few reports the "surge" to the top of the medal count was expected based on the event timing just like the Summer Games. They are only one medal ahead of the pre-game projections currently and will finish somewhere around 8-10 in the final medal count.

Current medal count

Considering how poorly Shiffrin has done, this has been an otherwise strong start to the Olympics for the US.

One more gold for the US, we move to first.

There’s no reason we shouldn’t be placing in any freestyle skiing and snowboarding events big air and slope style

Gold must weigh heavily. I think we should be ahead of a couple

There are two basic ways to report medal counts (outside of a weighted system which few outlets use) either golds with total count as the tie break or total count with golds as the tie break. The count I have been using which you also screenshotted is golds with total count as the tie break.

We had some discussion about it during the summer games with little consensus. I think weighted makes the most sense but then you have to come up with the weighting system. In general, I see total medals as the show of the most dominant country is a particular year. At this particular time we are 4th in overall count and 5th in golds which has changed since I posted the last count.

If Gu goes to the US, we would be in 3rd. Screw the ROC
