Iirc judo always gives two bronze medals but I'm not sure if this is the case in the Olympics as well. Maybe other disciplines do the same. And according to the metric, it might be possible to have the same points and therefore share one medal.

Gold having 1 more is weird because you would expect no silver if two have gold and therefore a difference of 2. Maybe in one weight class there only qualified one person and got the medal by default?

I did some digging and the jury is also always from that planet and also quite racist. It's not only always someone from earth but also from the human race.

That's why analyzing power structures is so crucial. I don't believe that they actively exclude non earthers or non humans, but the jury is more likely to choose their own kind and the people putting together the jury are as well.

Iirc there is a strategy in the US in one team sport for management to have a quota, not in outcome but the shortlist has to contain one non human (or non white, I'm not sure) and that alone raised the outcome because it made people seen that were invisible for the committee before.

Those "unranked" ones are actually tied for second place.

Mercury didn't win a medal but was given an honorary one for winning the freestyle orbital revolution in a record 88 days.

I was thinking the OC could've (should've) started some shit by putting them in order by distance from the sun as they are now, except for putting Saturn before Mercury. And then enjoy the hand wringing.

It's just based on their proximity to the sun

From what my history teacher tought me, the ancient Olympic games might have been inspired by people from other planets than earth, but I think outside the solar system

Out of the hundreds of judges, over 97% were born on Earth.

All 97%, and all of the remaining 3%, have lived on or in the orbit of Earth for the past three consecutive years. Their financial records indicate that their income is primarily from terrestrial sources.

Justice for Ceres!

Pluto is a dwarf plant. They take part in the planetary paralympic games.

Sometimes there's a tie for a position which cannot be resolved by the current rules or won't be played out at all.

In athletics, for example in pole vault, you have several tries to reach a certain height, if two athletes are tied at the same height the amount if failed tries is compared, but this still leads to shared places quite often. In the sports where you're scoring points you might get a tie by having the same highest score, which is usually resolved by comparing the second or third best score, but even that might not always be sufficient. In some of the tournament sports there are no games for third place, so the losers of the semi finals share third.

Shared gold means no silver medal. (2 gold, 0 silver, 1 bronze)

Shared silver means no bronze medal. (1 gold, 2 silver, 0 bronze)

Shared bronze means shared bronze. Also some disciplines give out 2 bronze medals by default, which is the reason for the high number of bronze medals. (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze)

I've heard that before

Beltalowda best at rock tossing! Not Olympic discipline, sasa que. Damn inyalowda.

Upvote for a quality zoo exhibit

Sports like boxing come to mind where 3rd place isn't fought for, it's just bronze for both losers of the semifinals.

Nobody wants to be second. The olympics are very competitive.

Ties if the sport allows it. And if 2 people tie for gold, then nobody gets silver.

Disqualified, Lrrr tested positive for human horn (upper and lower)

They haven't finished yet, and third place is still TBD
