medal count

Games standings metric

Medal count is the total number of medals won by a country, team, or athlete in a competition, especially the Olympics.

It typically breaks down into gold, silver, and bronze totals: The US led the medal count with 113 medals.

Countries often rank themselves by gold medals first, though total count matters for bragging rights.
