Canada #1 in 2010 Olympic Medal Tally

according to much of the world

Much of world bases standings on gold medal results.

From what we are seeing, only the USA and Canada rank medals according to total medal count. Other countries position countries based on the number of Gold Medals they take home (or keep at home in Canada's case).

Most counties around the world base each country's standings on Gold Medal results putting Canada at the top of the tally in much of the world, followed by Germany in second position and the USA in 3rd position.

Nice to see Canada at the top !!!
