From now on, you can get latest updates on the top 10 leading medal winners from the Beijing Olympic games on this site itself.
I have added a widget in the sidebar that displays top 10 medal winners.
If you also want the medal tally on your wordpress blog, download this plugin.

[...] So I had a look round for a ‘live’ data source for the medals table, didn’t find anything obvious, so looked for a widget that might be pulling on a hidden data source somewhere… Whereupon I found a reference to a WordPress Olympic Medal Tally widget… [...]

I have the saem widget on my blog, plus there are a number of Google gadgets you can use as well.
Based on the latest 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics Medal Count/Medal Tally, China’s medal machine is showing no sign of loosening its grip on the top spot. Looks like they really prepared for this year’s competition. The US is stuck in second place and not even the heroics of Michael Phelps could give them their traditional top spot in the 2008 Olympic medal tally/medal count.

Well done to us Brits. Not bad for a tiny Island!!
Great plugin, just wish I found out about it earlier, I could have had it on my blog.

Other day, I have seen a funny picture of phelles with his mouth full of Gold Medals. I think that was the funniest Olympic picture till now. No wonders, A lot of blogs had implemented that and I hope that they would have got a lot of traffics.

I would like to create a plug in for counting the medals of each athelete. One for Michaiel Phelps, another for Shawn Johnson….I like to focus on the athletes not where they are from. What do you think?

Oh man I just love this widget. It works so well on my blog I might just add it to all of my blogs. So far I have not seen any complications or conflicts. The best part about it is that everyone loves the olympics so there is no blog that can go wrong with the putting of this widget on it. Go Phelps!

Did you see the cover of Sports Illustrated? Phelps looks like he is wearing a red halter top!
Congrats to the USA athletes. They did a great job representing the USA.
