Does anyone else think it slightly odd that the medal table is ranked by golds first, then silvers, then bronzes, with no account taken of lesser medals until the higher ones are ranked?
A national team could win silver in every event, but be ranked below a team with a single gold & no other medals. For example, Japan, with 17 medals (2 gold, 4 silver, 11 bronze) is ranked below South Africa & Kazakhstan with 3 each - all gold.
