Some count overall medals, some count gold
If two countries have the same number of gold, then i think its the number of medals.

If they are both equal then it moves to Bronze.

I was looking in to the earlier it seems that most countries count golds, if it even then they drop down to silver and then it that is still a tie then on to bronze. The merikans count total medals.

As China are leading whichever way you measure it, maybe they'll stop.
