How come there's a different number of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals?
For the Vancouver 2010 olympics, there was 86 gold, 87 silver and 85 bronze medals awarded.
Shouldn't there have been 86 of each awarded?
What happened for there to be one more silver, and one less bronze?
just out of curiosity. this has been bugging me for a while [=
That's what I tought, but don't they have like tie breakers to prevent this?
If anyone know what event this happened in, that would be great =)
There was a tie for second in the men's individual biathlon. Two silvers, but no bronze were awarded.
