Tokyo Olympic 2021: Discussion and Update

She was unreal on the beam. Her mount was perfection and she's so nimble. Interesting that her favorite athlete is Simone Biles who was rooting her on.



Honestly, the leading group should be the country that has the most overall medals, not just the most gold. Because to have the most overall medals, you're competitive all around including gold, so it's not a good way to judge the top champion in medals just by their gold count only.

ok...lets create a gold medal for the most medal count.

I thought US was going to top the gold rankings by a big margin but it seems it won't turn out that way, Now I start to wonder which country would actually end up on the top.

I believe China has already won it.. Have been following almost all games.. USA seems to finish on podium, but not at the center.. Very minor chance of US toppling China as leader in that medal tally.
India won bronze medal in Hockey. A podium finish at Olympic for Indian hocky after 41 years..

Both China and US have the chance to top the gold ranking list, it's going to be a very close one in this Olympics.

Notice the difference in size between the gold bars and the others?

Still USA has a chance to top the gold medal count despite getting too many silver medals in the track and field

They have two basketball events, USA women water polo are favourite to win the gold. Nelly Korda is favourite to win the gold in golf. They have two players in two different weight division boxing finals and one semi final to go. Women beach vollyball is another potential gold for them. There are other events as well which I can't remmber.


China has two table tennis events golds confirmed, two 10m diving events left. There is a boxing final as well with a chinese in it. I don't have any idea if they can anther gold from other events

In China, the US team is now nicknamed: cashier, because, in Chinese, word for word translation of cashier is silver collectors, which implies the situation that US team tend to always go for being the best loser.

Haha, 26 is even bigger than 32.

Obviously they have redefined mathematics!

Even Americans are now embarrassed how US media manipulates the Olympic medal count. A Super Power with a petty heart:

Sorry, America: China's leading the real Olympic medal count

Since when are silver and bronze worth as much as gold? Come on, United States.

Not sure what the Chinese here are boasting about. If you base the medal count on a point system,

Gold-3
Silver-2
Bronze-1

the US has outperformed China to date. Even with a subpar Olympics. And the US still has quite a few gold opportunities to close the gap.

Another gold for the US in wrestling
The US wins another gold in women’s pole vault!
