Going from 7 gold and 24 medals to ~12 gold and ~24 medals is hardly an embarassment.
Why are the US and us the only countries that judge the Olympics with standings that say 3rd place is just as good as 1st place?

Not finishing third in a big pile of events has been our big problem in the medal count . . . . . or finishing third has been the biggest benefit to the USA as an example.
Relative to our peers, we've been pretty good finishing first and second.
