In the sports field, the overall ranking is determined by not only the medal results but also various factors, the results may vary depending on the calculation method. In this study, it was confirmed how the overall ranking differs according to the ranking method of the Olympic and National Sports Festival. In addition, we investigated the overall ranking calculation method used in tennis, which announces world rankings, and in short track speed skating, which selects the overall winner. In the Olympics, the methods of counting gold medals, counting total medals, and assigning weighted points to medals are used, and it was found that the overall ranking varies according to each method. The National Sports Festival uses a comprehensive scoring system that determines the ranking after calculating the overall score by adding up the medal score and the score for each event. In tennis and short track, the world ranking and overall winner are selected by the point acquisition method for each game. In future research, the optimal ranking calculation method should be suggested by comparing the method adopted in various sports events.
