grammaticality - "Medal standings" singular or plural?

While chatting with a friend about Rio 2016, I wanted to write the following sentence:




The medal standings you should be looking at is the one per capita.




Is this correct (grammar-wise, of course)? Does the word "standings" in this context hold a singular verb?
What confuses me is the s at the end of the word and the fact that the word translating it in my native langauge is singular.
