Stupid vote. The IOC has always used the standard order with gold first, then silver then bronze. Look at all the other olympic events. This is a century long tradition. It just looks strange this year, because countries havemore gold medals than US, even if they have less total medals. Don't change it for now (it may even happen that the standard ordering will reorder US at end, if there's only 1 additional gold: will you change all these pages for past olympics?). 
 Look at the official IOC website if you're not convinced. National TV channels are then free to interpret these resutls the way they want, but this is not a standard. And don't forget that English Wikipedia is not just for US (there are other English-speaking countries throughtout the world, including major competitors like Canada and UK)... Verdy P
