2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games It’s already over half, which means that swimming is over and the track and field events have just begun. This also means a new perspective on the medal game, whether it is the number of gold medals won by the top countries or the total number of gold medals.
With 7 days left in the competition, China is still the country with the most gold medals, followed by the United States, Japan and Australia.
The United States leads the total medals with 59 medals, followed by China with 8 medals behind.
The following is the medal match:

So far, China has won five heavy gold medals, followed by four diving, three shooting and two table tennis. In addition to other individual events, the Chinese also have a chance to win two other table tennis gold medals (men’s and women’s team finals) later this week.
The United States is expected to win the women’s basketball gold medal, and if the men’s basketball team becomes popular in the knockout games, it can also win the gold medal.
The United States has the most silver medals with 23, 12 of which were won by swimmers and divers.
In the past two Olympics (London 2012 and Rio 2016), the United States has won the most medals and the most gold medals. China won the second most medals in 2016, second only to the United States with 50 medals, but only 20 gold medals were missing.
In London, the United States has 8 more gold medals than China, and the total number of medals is only 13 more.
The last time the Americans did not win a gold medal battle was in 2008, when China led by 48 gold against the Americans with 36 gold. Among them is the American Michael Phelps who won eight of the victories in the Beijing Olympics.
The United States is the only country in the history of the modern Olympic Games that has accumulated at least 1,000 gold medals. This is the achievement the Americans made at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics. Before Tokyo, the Americans won 1,022 gold medals (2,522 total medals), which is more than the sum of the next two countries: Russia and Germany-including the Soviet Union and East Germany and West Germany combined.
