Criteria for counting medals (since summer 2021) > "I took a lazy if controversial approach. I decided that I will count each medal and each medalist the same. Bronze and gold look just as shiny to me. The official table counts just one medal for a team win, but I think that each piece of metal is a piece of joy for the person who brings it home: if eight people row together to get a medal and each can place a medal around their neck, then that’s eight medals for me." https://medium.com/european-data-journalism-network/the-data-you-need-to-win-the-olympics-if-you-go-nuts-6d03b9df34e6
