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.

Winter Olympics: Day 6

What a day! With this North American time zone your Olympic day begins at 7am and ends around, well, when you fall asleep at night. Nothing really interesting happen when you're at work at day hours.
My strongest impression is from Ski Sprint. Never thought it can be so intense. This stretch on the finish when no time difference is calculated only photo-finish. It is just amazing. Russian skiers made it not too nervous at the end being long distance from Norwegian. What a relief - first gold and silver.
Women's downhill was full of falls and crashes. The Vonn's victory was spectacular.
