It is surprising how difficult to find the latest official updates of medal counts from the Beijing 2008 Olympic.
After a Google search and ignoring all the scammers who try to make AdSense income, I finally found a list at Yahoo Sports, but the one that is most up-to-date is the 2008 Olympic Medal Count on Wikipedia. This further proves that people-power on the Internet is much faster and better, and Crowdsourcing is a practical and achievable future for project development.
As of 15:30 (HKT GMT+08:00), China is currently leading the medal count.
I had the same frustration and then came this site: http://www.beijingmedaltally.com Its got tally and looks like its updated all day long. Plus, its not cluttered with ads and junk like the others. I love it.
The medal count of BBC is also accurate. I, however, used Google gadgets on my site to display the latest tally. They’re pretty up to date too.2008 Beijing Summer Olympics Medal Count/TallyLatest Medal Count/Tally of the 2008 Beijing Olympics
