It’s taken almost a week but the two titans of world sport have finally made their way to the top of the medal table. China lead the competition for golds, thanks to strong performances in shooting and diving, while the USA are way out in front for overall medals, but only a quarter of those have been gold.
The pool is a microcosm of Team USA’s Games so far with a healthy haul of 20 medals but just four golds. Australia, with five visits to the top step of the podium already stand an excellent chance of winning the meet.
