The seven medals we picked up yesterday weren't enough to catch the Chinese. While we won seven, they earned another nine to solidify a three medal lead. The British and the Russians have been jockeying for third place. As of last night, they were tied with a total of 48 medals, but the Brits had a dozen more gold to put them back in third again. Here's the overall medal count:
#1.) China with 73 medals - 34 Gold, 21 Silver, and 18 Bronze.
#2.) United States with 70 medals - 30 Gold, 19 Silver, and 21 Bronze.
#3.) Great Britain with 48 medals - 22 Gold, 13 Silver, and 13 Bronze.
#4.) Russia with 48 medals - 10 Gold, 18 Silver, and 20 Bronze.
#5.) Japan with 29 medals - 2 Gold, 13 Silver, and 14 Bronze.
