The relative value of medals

The Olympics have the knack of mixing a constantly growing variety of events and of conveying the idea that they're all equal. That's right, have all medals the same value? I don't think so and it makes me wonder all the time.

To me, Curling doesn't even come close to Alpine Downhill. Sometime, I'm thinking of establishing a comparison table that would integrate technical difficulties, subjective vs. objective measures, physical danger, intensity of training required, athletes' natural gift and dispositions as well as entertainment value to the spectator.

Something worth exploring that might make events possible to compare? Any suggestions?
