In case you didn't know, what you are proposing has already been done -- at least for T&F in the Olympics. The problem is no one pays much attention to it.

See:

http://www.iaaf.org/OLY08/results/eventCode=3659/placing/index.html

The weighting here is 8 points for gold, 7 for silver, 6 for bronze, 4 for 4th place... down to 1 point for 8th place.

In a lot of Olympic sports, especially team sports, only the 1st two places are determined. They don't have a consolidation round to determine 3rd place in boxing, judo, wrestling and Taekwondo. Instead they issue two bronze medals in those sports.

But I guess one could average 3rd and 4th place (7 & 6 points), and give 6.5 points to the two bronze medalists. Similarly for 5th thru 8th place (the teams eliminated in the quarter final round), you could give each of them 2.5 points (average of 4, 3, 2 & 1 point for 4th thru 8th place).

It is interesting to note that some changes in ranking do occur depending on whether you point score the top-8 finishers or simply count the total number of metals awarded each country.

See:

http://www.iaaf.org/OLY08/results/eventCode=3659/medals/index.html

When using a top-8 weighted ranking, countries with more depth move up the ranking list – even though a country can only enter up to 3 athletes per T&F event.

The USA ranks #1 in T&F with either top-8 weighting or a simple total medal count. But with top-8 ranking, Russia moves considerably closer to the USA’s #1 rank.

Using top-8 ranking rather than a total metal count:

• The top-5 teams (USA, Russia Kenya, Jamaica, Ethiopia) do not change in rank.

• Great Britain moves up from a 9th place tie to a 6th place rank.

• Australia moves down from a 9th place tie to a 12th place rank

• China moves from up from 20th to 13th.

• And most amazing of all, Germany moves from a 6-way tie for 37th place (they only got 1 bronze medal) all the way up to 10th place (because they had 15 athletes finish from 4th to 8th place). And we thought the USA had bad luck!

42 countries were awarded at least one T&F medal in Beijing.

62 countries managed to place at lest one T&F athlete on the top-8 in Beijing.

I always thought the purpose of the Olympics was to give individuals a chance to demonstrate their abilities. The tracking of total and gold medals won by each country is a more recent effort by government agencies and media to demonstrate their nation's "superiority" through Olympic dominance - which makes me think of the Berlin Olympics and what Hitler hoped to prove through German athletic achievements.

Call me unpatriotic, but I think the public infatuation with medals counts detracts from the reason the Olypics were created, and from the focus on the individual athletes. We should be celebrating outstanding performances by all athletes, not just those from our own countries.

I'm doing this based on Medals, but more or less using Countries as a whole as a track team. Its like a track team title in college(FSU 3 ina row?)or highschool.

Medal counts have been around forever, the recent LIEK ZMGZ MOAR GALDZ MEANS WORLD DOMINANCE even though its always been the overall medal count.

Interesting that the only USA points in events 800m or more were scored by athletes coached by John Cook. Maybe he understands more than most the elements needed for distance runners to achieve their potential.
