Gold medals is the proper way to do medal standings, and the Americans always did it that way until it started making them look bad. This is the same media that will tell you the Americans have never lost a war (even though they've lost their last two).

Did you miss GGG's post?
That's the Canadian media for you.
This is the same media that will tell you Canadians invented hockey (with no 100% factual proof of such). This is the same media that states Canadians burnt down the White House (even though it was British soldiers, and the ones that would end up becoming Canadians were no where near back in what would end up becoming Canada).
But I guess if you keep repeating something it becomes true eh?
