Most websites use total gold medals as the standard but also put a lot of emphasis on total medals as well.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Exactly what their propeganda machine is doing.
China sunk a STACK of money into their athletes, no wonder they are doing well! US had better start doing the same (just tell the helicopter man Ben to drop some more over the sporting institutions there. I'm sure he can just print some more). ha ha.
It does not matter how it is called by the U.S. media or NBC or ABC or even by us.
The ONLY list that matters is the IOC (International Olympic Committee) list. They are responsible for the Olympics since the late 1800s.
http://www.olympic.org/uk/games/index_uk.asp
Click on the appropriate Olympic Game (e.g. 1976 Montreal) and then click on the "Medals by Country" link (located on the bottom right corner under the "Olympic Results" block).
The ranking is based on who has the most golds (the silver/bronze/total medals are only used for tie-breaker purposes).
Using the 1976 Montreal Olympics as an example...you will see that Trinidad and Tobago ranked higher than Canada. Trinidad and Togabo only won ONE medal (gold). While Canada won a total of ELEVEN medals (5 silver and 6 bronze).
Why did Trinidad and Tobago ranked above Canada? Because Canada did NOT win any competition...while Trinidad won at least one.

It's all about the gold medals in terms of the country ranking for me. Individually, silver and bronze count since they get to be on the podium too, I guess. Also I'm not too pleased with all the negative press China has been getting over here, probably because we Brits know we'll have a tough act to follow. I wonder if we'll even top 3 it as the hosts for 2012?
