Can we decide to stop counting the number of Olympic medals from now?


Praising the performances of Olympic athletes is good, but boasting about  the number of medals is bad. The Nazis made a bad use of the Berlin Olympic to increase national prestige and german's antiforeign sentiment.

Each medal is a result of an athlete's training, but the number of medals is influenced by each country's economy.
78 countries got the medal in 205 participating countries and legions. Top 10 countries, that are all the members of the G20, got 53.2% of all. Europe got 49.5%. The Olympic game is the festival of sports, not of the economy.

 Let's stop counting the number of the medals.
