The 11th day of competition of the Paris Olympics is over, but I did not expect that in the past night, the competition for the first place in the gold medal list was full of twists and turns, and the Chinese team was once at the top of the list, but the United States team won three gold medals in one hour in the morning on August 7, once again overtaking China to the top of the list, and gradually widened the gap. For the Chinese team, we must try our best to compete for the gold medal in the championship competition on the next competition day, and we must all win the championship in advantageous events such as table tennis men's team, women's team, and diving 3-meter board, and whether we can win the gold medal list in the end, the most important thing may be the performance of the weightlifting team, if we can win all 6 gold medals, the hope is very big.
Late last night, Quan Hongchan of the diving team won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter platform, while Chen Yuxi won a silver medal, and the Chinese team once again overtook the United States team to rank first in the gold medal table. Cao Liguo won the silver medal in the men's Greco-Roman wrestling 60 kg class, Meng Lingzhe won the bronze medal in the 130 kg competition, and the Chinese team won two medals in the wrestling two levels, which is also a very good result. And Zhao Jie of the track and field team won the bronze medal in women's hammer throw, which was also a huge surprise.
In the women's 60kg boxing final, China's Yang Wenlu did her best, and the referee decided that Harrington won after a split decision, and the Ireland athlete defended his title, and Yang Wenlu won a silver medal, which is also worth congratulating. In the past day, the Chinese team won 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze, and it can be clearly seen that with the second half of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team has indeed won a lot less gold points, and the next few days are mainly the performance time of the weightlifting team.
The biggest rival of the Chinese team, the United States team, frantically harvested medals in the past night, winning a total of 3 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze. In the early hours of August 7, the United States team won medals in track and field, boxing and wrestling. Athletics is also a strong point for the United States team, with Cole Hawke winning gold in the men's 1500m and breaking the Olympic record, with Nuguse winning bronze. Gabriel Thomas won gold in the women's 200m and Brittany Brown won bronze. In the women's freestyle wrestling 68kg category, Amit Ellore of the United States team won gold. In addition, the United States team won a bronze medal in the men's 71kg boxing category and a silver medal in the women's hammer throw. In terms of time, it took about just over an hour for the United States team to win seven medals.
The United States team is currently ranked first in the gold medal table with 24 golds, 31 silvers and 31 bronzes, with a total of 86 medals, not only surpassing the Chinese team in the rankings, but also expanding its advantage. The Chinese team ranked second with 22 golds, 21 silvers and 16 bronzes, with a total of 59 medals and is about to break the 60 mark, which is also a very good result. The Chinese team is currently behind the United States team with 2 gold medals, but if they want to surpass their opponents and rank first in the gold medal table, they need to win at least 3 more gold medals, and on today's competition day, Li Fabin and Hou Zhihui of the weightlifting team will hit the Olympic gold medal, hoping that they can reproduce the true colors of the Chinese team.
The third contender is very fierce, Australia and France, United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, etc., the gap is not very large, the host France team's performance compared to the last Olympic Games, indeed improved a lot, currently ranked 4th with 13 gold, 16 silver and 19 bronze, a total of 48 medals, second only to the United States team and the Chinese team in the total number of medals.
