There's always debate over how to rank the medalists. Should it be who has most golds or most total medals?

I've always lobbied for a 3-2-1 points system - 3 points for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for bronze.

The top two teams remain USA and China:

China: (47-17-25, 200 points)
USA: (31-36-35, 200 points)

Right now we're tied but USA has the best shot in the last couple days I'd say.
