Why don't Olympic medals count?

As shown in the figure, under normal circumstances, there should be 19 1 silver medal, but in the competition, it often happens that the results are the same, which will lead to the second place. At this time, a project will produce two silver medals, just like the London Olympic Games. Sun Yang and Park Tae hwan tied for the runner-up in the men's 200m freestyle and each won a silver medal. The 193 silver medal in the picture shows that the two events tied for the runner-up, so two more silver medals were produced.

The situation of 208 bronze medals is normal, because some events will produce two bronze medals, which means that the third and fourth place in these events will not compete for bronze medals in other competitions, but will be tied for bronze medals, such as judo and wrestling.
