Gold also gets your country's national athem played. This is the one thing I don't mind having as much as possible.

If Canada gets more Golds than the USA (real possibility), then I would be ecstatic.
Gold is way more important than overall medal count. Gold = Winner, Silver = Loser, Bronze = Participant. Canada having more golds than both bronze AND silver combined goes to show how much more superior we are to the USA. 10 bronzes, LOL. Give me a break, you have like 5 people in each event.

During the Olympic games it likely would be prudent to compile the standings based on the rules of, I don't know, let's say, the International Olympic Committee. Eat it NBC.

My only concern is that the VanOC website lists medal count by total, not golds

You really won't let that go will you? Must be nice living in that stress free zero mistake bubble.

The American athletes winning bronze instead of gold isn't a choke at all, right?

So by your account:
Kristina Groves = loser
Upperton/Brown = losers
Ladies Short Track = losers
Marriane St. Gelais = loser (double loser because she got silver in relay too)
Mike Robertson = loser
Jenn Heil = loser!
I wish I could be as big a loser as them.
