I'm not sure you are aware of the scoring system, but let me initiate you on this. There is a formula with certain constants A, B, C for each sport (so A1, B1, C1 for the first sport to A10, B10, C10 for the 10th sport), and a variable P1 to P10, which is dependent on how well the competitor did (eg. in Shotput, it is the distance thrown in metres, in Swimming, it is the time in secs to complete the length etc.). So if me and you were competing , and we did almost as well in lets say swimming, we would get almost same points for that sport even though I might have come second in this particular sport. Note here that individual sport rankings is unimportant. The more different our performances are in a particular sport the more the difference the points I am awarded for that sport.
