Canada did well. They got four gold medals, and none of them were in race-walking!
If anyone wants to point a finger at a so-called First World country that underachieved, they should ask how many medals did Germany win?

I disagree…. 
2 medals were in decathlon… Canada was notably absent in the major track events… of course for uneducated onlookers

Germany was a disappointment ..I was surprised.
To the uniformed on this thread...T&T failed to capture a medal in the last 3 world Championships.
What does the decathlon consist of?
An all-round athletics test, the 10-event contest covers the whole range of athletics disciplines spread over two days. The first day consists of (in order): 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m. The second day's events are 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500m.

Anyway. I'm still trying to find out how Canada topped JA on table standings withb3 less silvers, 5 less Bronzes but one more Gold. Does the Gold carry so much 'weight'?

Go back to the first Olympics and you will see such trend...and it follows till today.
If one has Gold , Silver and Bronze . Which entity has the advantage?

There is also an optional point system, darling
Usually the country that has led in total medals also led in the gold count - when did it not? Exceptions are the 1896, 1912 and 1964 Summer Olympics when the United States finished first in gold medal count but second in the overall medal count. Also in 2008, the US finished first in total medal count but second to China in the overall based on gold medals. A criticism of counting only gold medals to determine success is that it implies that winning silver and bronze, or making the final, is worthless.
Another commonly used method (the predominent method used in the USA) is to rank countries based on the total medals won. In this case, a silver and bronze medal count the same as the gold medal - is a silver or bronze really worth as much as a gold medal? Certainly not to the athlete.winners stand
There are numerous possible other ways of ranking success at the Olympics, with some of the alternative medal tally ranking systems having merit. A more extreme system that has been tried is to count all gold medals won, so the results from team sports count the number of individual medals given out. This totally biases countries which win medals in the team sports.
Then there are weighted systems which assign differing amounts of points to each of the gold, silver and bronze medals. You can see a discussion of the weighted methods which compares a few variations using this method. Other ranking methods have factored in demographic factors such as population size and economic factors such as gross domestic product (GDP).
