China still has a good deal more Gold medals.. yet, still 20 behind in total. Not really sure how, were the early events just better suited to them?
I believe 4x400 men's and women's relays remain, along with a few more events (i.e. baseball, women's water polo, women's basketball) in which Team USA has a chance to even up with China on Gold medals.
Jesus, pretty much their golds came from Weight lifting, ping pong, diving and shooting.
And how TF do we have 5 different events for pingpong?
As of my reading right now they havent put up the golf gold medal. If Im right then the US is down 3 golds, but leads the overall medal count by quite a bit.
Well let's all be thankful "disease manufacturing" isn't an Olympic sport..
They seem to do well in the judged events, weightlifting, and more obscure stuff like ping pong, canoeing/sailing/kayaking, and badminton. That made up like half their medals I think. While that was maybe less than 20% of ours. We do better in the bigger team sports, swimming, wrestling, and track and field.
They just showed the women's 4x100 again and it's amazing how much better our women run it than the men. By the way Gabby Thomas is pretty hot.
USA Medal Count: 36 Gold, 39 Silver, 33 Bronze = 108
China Medal Count: 38 Gold, 31 Silver, 18 Bronze = 87
4 more chances tomorrow for USA to tie or overtake China in gold medal race. Two boxing finals, women's basketball final and women's volleyball final sees Team USA go for gold. I'm surprised Japan playing in women's BB final over France, Serbia or Spain. Game on NBC tonight at 10:30 EST.

Can't remember the last time the USA finished under 100 medals. Heck of an accomplishment in a Covid year.
1988 Summer games in Seoul off the top of my head. Both USSR and East Germany finished ahead of USA that year.
Happy for USA! Way to go, ladies.
Last Olympic BB game US women lost happened in 1992 at Barcelona during semi-final game to the Unified Team (former USSR). Fun fact: Coach of Russian women's team that year was Evgeny Gomelsky. His brother, Alexander Gomelsky, coached USSR and beat Team USA men and John Thompson during the 1988 men's semi-final in Seoul. Alexander Gomelsky lived in San Diego after retiring from Russian team. He told his brother, Evgeny, the only way to beat US women's athleticism was run a tight, aggressive zone.
5-6 days ago there was a stink made about how they showed the medal count. Well, the US about to take the lead in golds as well.
Womens Volleyball wins Gold. Congrats Ladies!!!
With the women's volleyball gold, the US now leads China 39 golds to 38!!!
I think that's it. I don't think China is in any more sports for gold medals.
I watched some of the Olympics. Didn't watch any BB or soccer games. I'm blown away at the times that the marathon runners (Men & Women's) came in at...those people are ALIENS!
Oh, watching the men's and women's volleyball??? damn, I'm glad I wasn't on the reciving end of some of those hammer shots!

Honestly thought these games were poorly broadcast. I know there was a significant time difference, but finding exciting events to watch was challenging.
Wasn't as invested until I saw Chinese state sponsored commie accounts talking trash.
