Google thinks this: 5 >= 5 >= 8 They have the highest medal count on the bottom of their list - but only show the "top 3" in their list - but if they are counting from the bottom-up they would want to show either the whole list or maybe the bottom three. In short, the problem is that they sorted the list wrong. Google has since fixed this problem - but it took them a few hours to even notice it.

Are you also adding in their rank? Looks like you don't know how to read :P Looks like google counts fine.

2+2+1 = 5
3+2+0 = 5
1+3+4 = 8

Where is the problem? Are you also adding in their rank? Looks like you don’t know how to read :P
