Beijing Summer Olympics 2008 Overall Medal Count

After 16 days of glorious battle (August 8- 24, 2008), the story has hit saturation coverage. China, once mocked as “the weaklings of Asia,” is going to win what it calls the total medal count for the Beijing Games.

China, like most of the world, values gold medals above all and only counts them in the standings. With 51 and counting, its total dwarfs all other nations. The United States is second with 36.

But the United States won the Summer Olympics 2008 with the total of 110 medals thans the host country China with 100 medals. Followed by Russia with 72 and Britain with 47 medals.
