Why does US media want to make us believe that the Americans are at the top of the medal count?
It is International Olympic Committee policy to rank the medal table according to the number of gold medals won. Why does US media mislead people placing the US above China on the medal count when clearly China (and by IOC standards) is way ahead?
Easy question with easy answer. They do this because they want us to be more interested in the Olympics. Why not find a way to put us on top? If it were the other way around, us having fewer medals but more gold you can be sure that our media would base it on most gold won. I’m sure in the Chinese media they show only gold count and don’t even show a total medal count. You are gonna spin it which ever way works for your particular country.
