So the London 2012 Summer Olympics have come to a close and the time has come to tally up the gold, silver, and bronze medal winners to determine an outright champion. This is the list of how top countries performed in the recent Olympics. The United States had an unbelievable showing as it dominated the swimming, track and field, and team sports competitions. The U.S. won the medal count by 17, and also won the race for gold medal supremacy by 8 over its next closest competitor. As such, the time has come to tally the final standings in the recent PCTI Olympics, in which competitors were judged on their abilities to perform actual Olympic events. Below is a list of PCTI players and their medal counts, along with commentary from the peanut gallery.

FAQs

1)      Who had the best summer? Abe. This is really not even that close. He led the league in medals won, had no DNQs for any event, and captained the winning team in PCTI III. That’s a pretty good summer by any standard.

2)      Who had the worst summer? Wes Castle. Like Abe’s medal championship, this is also not really close. Wes did not win any medals, DNQ’d in two separate events, and was arguably the least tenacious kitten on a team full of non-tenacious kittens.

3)      Beas and Spotlight tied for the next best individual performance in the Olympics. Who wins the tiebreaker? Spotlight edged out Beas for ROY in PCTI III by the slimmest of margins, but Beas returns the favor now. Although each earned 4 medals, Spotlight DNQ’s in 2 different events takes the luster off of his performance. Beas redeems his ROY loss to Spotlight with a stirring performance in this summer’s Olympics. And BC, before you try to make the argument that Beas hasn’t done anything yet in PCTI, just take a look at the medal count and see his name above yours.

4)      Who performed above expectations in this summer’s Olympics? It’s tough make a case against Smo in this spot. He captured 4 medals, all gold or silver with no DNQ’s. If BC had performed more consistently in the synchronized diving competition, he might have added one more gold to the tally. This momentum should lead him to a breakout PCTI IV performance.

5)      Who performed below expectations in this summer’s Olympics? Donley. After a breakout PCTI III performance in which he garnered AT status, and after having secured the greatest living nickname in PCTI, one would think the sky is the limit for this player-man. But after having lost the PCTI IV location sales competition and after bringing home no gold medals, this player-man must be disappointed in his summer’s results.

6)      Who was the most consistent performer? JT. A gold, silver, and bronze with no DNQ’s, all of which is topped off by an MVP performance in PCTI III.

7)      Who was the most inconsistent performer? Bruise and McKinney (tie). Bruise was gold or bust as he brought home two golds but DNQ’s in 3 separate events. He also punched a horse in the Equestrian event. McKinney showed great promise in the summer Olympics but was unable to translate his prodigious physical gifts into an abundant medal count.

Bob Costas Award: BC. Both are smooth talkers who have a gift for unflappability, calm demeanors, and hair that will not move under any circumstance.
