Olympic Winners

I'll confess that I have always liked sports. It's entertainment. I watch the Olympics and root for my team, and I have been gratified immensely by one aspect of the coverage I have read in the Press Democrat. Each day the newspaper publishes an unofficial list of how many medals have been won by each nation. (The Olympics themselves refuse to make up such a list.) The country that has won the most medals is listed first, then the country with the second most medals, etc. For example, when China had won 12 medals with 9 of them gold and the USA had won 12 medals with 5 of them gold, the USA was listed first. China came in second, according to the newspaper. Now that is my sort of reporting. The USA always wins in the Press Democrat.
