I think you may need to find the East German total and add that in too Atty!

Interestingly enough... We won about 1 in 6 medals awarded.

back in those days a combination of east and west medals would have produced 1st place more often than not ....

I used the Olympic site and you can list all and also list by G/S/B or by total medals. lol.

i figured your table came from a european site, lol - all over the states the TOTAL medal count determines rankings. theoretically, a country with 70 bronze medals only could beat a country with 69 gold medals only - if they have no other medals - never made sense to me but there it is!

night, whiskers!

It usually would have been second to the Soviet Union in the winter games... And would have pushed the US in the summer.

Well, total doesn't really makes sense to me either. You could have a country win zero gold medals but take most silver and bronze and be ranked 1st, for example. So this way, it's ranked by G/S/B which is the "official" way, I guess. But they allow you to sort both ways. Thus, a country's listed ranking # is by G/S/B.

Well, goodnight all.

When I was younger they used to assign a point system with gold worth 5, silver worth 3, and bronze worth 1. For some reason that has disappeared. :/
