Personally, I agree with the IOC here, in that competitions are between athletes not countries. Nonetheless, how to rank countries has always been a source of contentious debate. Here's my modest proposal: Assign 3 points to gold medals, 2 to silvers, and 1 to bronzes. This weights each medal fairly, gives recognition to silver and bronze winners, and is, well, fair. By this count, as of right now, it's China: 184, US: 162. There you go, media, free advice, just for you.
