The 13th day of competition at the Paris Olympics is coming, and there are less than four days left to complete the entire Olympic Games. The competition for the first place in the gold medal table between the Chinese team and the United States team was particularly fierce after the start of the second half of the Olympic Games, basically alternating leads, and no one had much advantage. In the last 2 days, the United States team relied on the performance of 6 gold medals in track and field, beating the Chinese team in 1st place, and holding the advantage of 2 gold medals, but after this competition day, the Chinese team is expected to approach or even overtake, diving men's 3-meter board and weightlifting two events, the Chinese team guaranteed 3 gold medals today.
Because the United States team performed in the first half of shooting, 3x3 basketball and other events, the first place in this year's gold medal list is likely to belong to the Chinese team. At present, the United States team has won 27 gold, 35 silver and 32 bronze, a total of 94 medals, ranking first, the Chinese team with 25 gold, 23 silver and 17 bronze ranked second, but in the next 3 days of competition, the Chinese team won the championship events one after another, including table tennis men's and women's teams, diving competitions, weightlifting and synchronized swimming, as well as boxing, taekwondo, canoeing, hockey, track and field, etc., all have the opportunity to win gold, guaranteed, the Chinese team can get 10 gold, if ideally, even at least 13 gold.
And the remaining track and field events of the United States team, it is impossible to continue to take a big package, it is very good to get 2-3 golds, and men's basketball and women's basketball even if the United States team wins, only add 2 gold, women's volleyball and football projects, the United States team is not the biggest favorite, the possibility of winning gold is not very likely, and counting other games, it is very good that the United States can win 7-8 gold next, compared to the Tokyo Olympics, the United States team will reduce at least 3 gold medals, and will eventually hover around 35. The Chinese team is guaranteed to win 10 games, and there will definitely be more than 10 gold in the end. Therefore, the Chinese team is very hopeful to beat the United States team at the top of the gold medal table in the Paris Olympics.
The last time China finished first in the gold medal table was at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when we won 48 gold, 22 silver and 30 bronze medals at home, bringing a total of 100 medals, while the second-placed United States team only won 36 golds. At the London Olympics, the United States team won 46 golds, and the Chinese team ranked second with 39 golds. In the Rio Olympics, the United States still ranked first with 46 golds, the United Kingdom team ranked second with 27 golds, and the Chinese team ranked third with 26 golds, only one gold medal away from the United Kingdom team. At the Tokyo Olympics, the United States team won 39 golds and the Chinese team won 38 golds, and on the last day of competition, the battle for the gold medal table came to an end.
Now the Paris Olympics will end in a few days, the Chinese team won the top of the gold medal list after 16 years, the suspense is not big, mainly table tennis, diving, weightlifting, shooting and other events, the Chinese team's play is very dominant, the advantage is really too great, even shooting has won 5 gold, it is really a huge surprise. The overall performance of the United States team in the early stage was average, and even fell out of the top 5, and then slowly caught up, but the United States team has not won many gold points, and it is only a matter of time before the gold medal table is lost to the Chinese team.
It is worth mentioning that on the last day of the Paris Olympics, Li Wenwen participated in the weightlifting women's 81 kg gold medal match, aiming to win gold, and she is also the Tokyo Olympics women's 87 kg and above champion. Li Wenwen's performance is crucial, this is also the last gold point for the Chinese team, and the Chinese team may rely on this gold medal to open the gap with the United States team.
In addition to China and United States, Australia broke into the top three with 18 golds, hosts France also won 13 golds, and United Kingdom was also solid with 12 golds. Korea has made great progress, winning only 6 golds, 4 silvers and 10 bronzes at the Tokyo Olympics, and so far, the Korea team has won 12 golds, 8 silvers and 7 bronzes, twice the number of gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics. Japan made a big slide, ranking third with 27 gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, and at the Paris Olympics, they have only won 12 golds, almost halved.
