LONDON--While China tussles for top spot in the Olympic medal standings with the United States, the race to be best of the rest in Asia will come down to another battle between bitter rivals South Korea and Japan at the London Games.

Japan vs S.Korea,who is going to win more gold?

 

[rai_kamal]

South Korea has got more gold than Japan currently..
And don't forget North Korea is also there in the race, infact it is ahead of Japan..
Japan needs more gold and luck to go up,

 

[beijingwalker]

maybe S.Koreans have a better chance this time,Japan performs so badly in judo,they just get one gold till now.

Arrey koi bhi party jeete , humse kya matlab .
Hum to sirf Indian subcontinent ka kahayaal rakhna jaante hai .

 

[kawaraj]

Japan's overall attendance covered most of the events, S.Korea only get a few arena in line with its small nation characteristic.

Always take notes of the Medal count instead of Gold count.

Japan now ranks only after China and the U.S. (13 medals)

I always think whoever has more gold wins the game,silver means you were being beaten at least once.

china or USA

Traditionally gold is the standard bragging right but since the US lost that tittle to China in Beijing 2008, many western media, especial those in the US, use total medal count as the standard. I saw Yahoo sport did that yesterday when the US had more medals briefly.

Yes off course, I to saw that, I dont know what kind of criteria is that,if a nation succeed to win 30 bronze but no gold how can it be considered superior to a nation with even 5 gold.

Japan is at 3rd place and US at 1st place in overall medal count,but when it comes to gold, US fall down 1 position, Japan is not even in top 10.
