Put America first! American media won win thoroughly...... Only with three gold medals | swimming | the United States
The 2023 World Swimming Championships are being held in Fukuoka, Japan. As of this morning, the traditional powerhouse United States has only won 4 gold medals at this World Championships, ranking third on the official website of the World Championships Swimming Federation.
The Chinese team, with outstanding performance, temporarily ranked first with 20 gold medals, while Australia ranked second with 15 gold medals.
According to this official ranking, the performance of the United States is indeed poor, but some domestic netizens have found that the National Broadcasting Corporation of America has created a ranking. According to the real-time results on the sixth competition day, the United States team, which only won three gold medals, surprisingly jumped to first place.
What kind of list is this? Why did the United States, which is not the top country in terms of gold medals and medals on that day, rank first?
This netizen said that originally, this American media excluded diving and synchronized swimming from the list and listed swimming separately. In addition, it is not calculating the number of gold medals, but calculating the number of all medals. After such a clever operation, we finally pushed the United States to first place!
The operation of NBC not only makes domestic netizens feel puzzled. An American sports journalist also tweeted sarcastically.
The journalist posted a screenshot of an NBC report on Twitter stating that today NBC and the US swimming team officially raised the white flag at the end of the finals, changing the medal tally to be sorted by total number of medals.
The journalist later added in the post that their calculation method was not like this at the beginning of the World Championships. "The overall medal ranking is not particularly frustrating for me, but 'ranking based on the way we believe we will win the game' makes me feel even more uncomfortable."
The reading volume of this tweet reached 830000, sparking a lot of debate among netizens.
A netizen revealed the hidden truth behind this picture in a message. The netizen said, "Interestingly, they overlooked diving and open water events because China has performed well in these events."
The operation of NBC has surprised the American media themselves. SwimSwam, an American swimming news website, exclaimed in the title: According to NBC's ranking, the United States suddenly led the medal table after the sixth race day.
SwimSwam website reported that when watching the domestic live broadcast of the sixth day of the 2023 World Championships, you may think that the United States had a very exciting day because it suddenly appeared at the top of the overall medal table.

NBC's report has decided to change the format of tonight's chart by sorting by total medals instead of the traditional ranking by gold medals. This puts the Star Spangled Banner far ahead of Australia and China, although the latter two countries stand out in terms of gold medal numbers, especially Australia.

It is puzzling that the American media still did not mention diving in their reports, seemingly forgetting that diving is also an official event at the World Swimming Championships.
This operation by American media has also angered Australian colleagues. The Australian news website news. com. au pointed out in a report that American broadcasting companies have changed the way medal tables are displayed at the World Championships, despite having fewer gold medals than Australia, still placing the United States at the top of the charts.
This website bluntly stated in the article that Americans have shown an attitude of unacceptable failure in this move.
The Americans have shown them can't handle losing
