MEDAL COUNT!

Image via Medal Count

Last I checked, there were no less than four quadrillion hours of Olympic footage available for viewing via all of the official streams. Even for Millenials, that is a lot of multitasking. The massive amount of Olympic footage combined with all of the tweeting and Photoshop faceswapping I need to cram into my day, was starting to overwhelm me.

Enter Medal Count, a quick, easy-to-scan readout of the various ‘bling’ accumulated by Communist countries, former communist countries, and the United States. Medal Count acts like a customizable, dynamic infographic. You can sort by sport, country, or medal type (as if anything other than Gold matters), and select countries to keep an eye on. As of drafting this post, China was highlighted in yellow, as it was the leader. Not for long, amiright? USA! USA! USA!
