The Beijing Winter Olympics came to a successful end, and we won 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze results, ranking third in the gold medal list and the best result in history. The American team ranked fourth with 8 gold, 10 silver and 7 bronze, which was nothing, and many media also reported it this way, which is a simple reference comparison, and people have always been accustomed to looking at the list in this way.
But some media in the United States can't stand us ranking ahead of them, so they set up a medal table so that they can rank ahead of us, but they are fifth, and the Russian Olympic team and Canada are in front of them!
But seeing this, I suddenly found that if I make a runner-up list, then the United States can rank in the top three, the Russian Olympic team is the first, they and Germany are tied, this list should not be named "the second old list"!
Speaking of which, since I usually write a lot about the NBA, the media often engages in the NBA superstar history ranking, which is interesting whether they will rank the overall runner-up in the calculation of honors, it should not be, because if this is the case, James is ranked in Jordan, it is very logical. Of course, there are also fans who think like this, because they always want to find reasons to surpass Jordan, so let's take some other data and small honors to make up for it, the problem is to look at the top honors of Jordan and James:
Jordan 6 Championship + 6FMVP + 5MVP
James 4 championship + 4MVP + 4FMVP
You say how James can get in front of Jordan, is it almost all bad, can't really take the total runner-up to compare it.
There is a silver medal to hang in the second Olympic Games, and there is no cup to be held in the second place of the Finals!
In fact, the ranking of this matter naturally can not make everyone satisfied, but how to rank must be relatively objective, you say!
