Final Medal Count -- with EOES

China really fell apart down the stretch and Italy rallied to hold onto their spot in the top 10.  Still the United States had the lowest EOES of any country in the top 20, so obviously there is work to be done.

1. United States 104 (0.729)
2. China 88 (0.820)
3. Russia 82 (4.966)
4. Great Britain 65 (2.537)
5. Germany 44 (1.323)
6. Japan 38 (0.738)
7. Australia 35 (3.586)
8. France 34 (1.360)
9. South Korea 28 (2.238)
    Italy 28 (1.380)
11. Ukraine 20 (5.607)
      Netherlands 20 (2.672)
13. Canada 18 (1.347)
14. Hungary 17 (10.510)
      Spain 17 (1.227)
      Brazil 17 (0.745)
17. Cuba 14 (11.688)
18. New Zealand 13 (9.418)
      Kazakhstan 13 (7.355)
20. Jamaica 12 (40.146)
      Belarus 12 (11.364)
      Iran 12 (2.274)

    I have no doubt that if the South were a separate country with its own Olympic Committee, our OES and our EOES would be higher than that for the rest of the country.

      It would be higher in summer games, but what about winter? I got to thinking later on that there needs to be someway to bring in the summer/winter issues that arise with trying to predict medals. I would assume for instance that Sweden will do much better at the winter games.

      I'm thinking that for winter, we will use the same methodologies, but the OES's and EOES's of the top countries will be higher than they were for the summer games -- because at the winter games, I think the top countries win a higher percentage of the medals.

      I agree that the South would not do as well at the winter games as it would at the summer games.

    #FunFact If Yorkshire was a country it would have finished 12th in the medal table!

    (13th if you slot in the SEC at fifth.)

    "When we found out Ryan Lochte was going to be in town and might appear on '90210', we felt like we'd won a gold medal!"
