The overall medals ranking based on atomic weight of gold, silver and copper. This method seems to be the most balanced one. As a result of such calculation two silver medals are better than one gold, three bronze medals are slightly worse than one gold medal and two bronze medals better than one silver.
The atomic weight of gold, silver and copper respectively is 197.2, 107.88 and 63.57.

Austrian ski jumping team takes gold.


When Eurosport commentator said that Austrian jumper Gregor Schlierenzauer wouldn't need to do something dramatic in his last jump to let his team to win I knew something interesting gonna happen. At the end it was the longest ski jump in this Olympics and I must say the jump was spectacular. It was over 146 meteres and when Gregor landed he seemed to lose control a bit and almost touched the ground with his body. Great moments of these games.

Когда австриец Грегор Шлирензауэр приготовился к последнему прыжку с 140 метрового трамплина, комментатор Евроспорта отметил, что ему достаточно просто прыгнуть без грубых ошибок и Австрия возьмет золото в командном зачете. Я точно знал, произодет что-то интересное. Это был самый длинный прыжок на этой Олимпиаде и возможно рекорд этого трамплина. Грегор потерял равновесие при приземлении и казалось уже падал, но устоял. За такие моменты мы и любим Олимпиаду.
