No. China actually has one more gold medal than the US right now.

TFCO, to answer your question, China's medals are coming from a variety of sports from shooting to weightlifting to diving to badminton etc. They have a very well-rounded team. The US has 16 gold medals from swimming alone. They dominated the swim meet. So it's actually the US keeping up right now. If the US can have a good athletics meet they will likely win the gold medal race.

The US says its overall medal totals that determines your position on the table not Gold medals only.

You have to give China credit. I find it remarkable how far they have come in competing across various disciplines. I agree with the comments about them being very well rounded.

Pride. Determination. Discipline. Comprehensive support. What can you do but applaud?

Cheers, Mate

They are in boxing and have a woman in the final, their 110m mens hurdler who is quite good got injured.

The US men have downright stunk in these Olympics. Aside from an obvious few bright spots, our men have not performed to expectations. I just saw Croatia crush the US in water polo 8 - 2. I root for both teams, but I didn't expect the US men to be so lethargic and even intimidated.

I guess the couch culture is coming home to roost. The Croatian water polo team basically gets together all year, even when competing in European water polo leagues. I don't think this is the case with the US.

Plus...I bet Croatia gets just as good juice as the US.

Cheers, Mate

US will likely overtake China anytime soon. US still has women's volleyball, men and women's basketball, 4x400m men and women, possibly even 4x100 men and women if things go their way, women's soccer, women's long jump etc....China is running out of events to get gold medals in.

phantomjournalist · Post by **phantomjournalist** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 9:12 pm

Btw, the likes of Tajikstan and Mongolia have medalled at these games. Nigeria can't say the same unfortunately.

Not so fast.

China has lots of Gold medals yet to win in Diving, Taekwondo, Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Table Tennis e.t.c.

It will be close, but U.S may pip China at the end.

Weighlifting - over

Gymnastics - over

Table tennis - over

Taekwondo - competition is too deep

Diving - only one more medal to be won

Like I said.

2 more Diving Gold medals yet to be won.

2 more Gymnastics Gold medals yet to be won.

China should win 1 from 4 remaining Taekwondo Gold medals.

China won last Table Tennis Gold today. Wrestling, Boxing could provide one or two.
