Who's top of the table?

According to the world:
(gold-silver-bronze-medals)

1 - China - 46 - 15 - 22 - 83
2 - USA - 29 - 34 - 32 - 95
3 - Great Britain - 17 - 12 - 11 - 40
4 - Russia - 16 - 16 - 19 - 51
5 - Australia - 11 - 13 - 14 - 38

....and according to America:

1 - USA - 29 - 34 - 32 - 95
2 - China - 46 - 15 - 22 - 83
3 - Russia - 16 - 16 - 19 - 51
4 - Great Britain - 17 - 12 - 11 - 40

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought the nation with the most olympic gold medals was the winner...?
