Summer Olympic Games 2020 Medal Count

[dodge 1,027]

For the first time ever  has won gold in 2 different sports at the same Olympics

 

Also the first time we’ve had both men and women win a gold medal at the same time 

 

Only our 11th time winning gold 

[Quaker2001 251]

USA - 39 golds

China - 38 golds

 

[Quasit 865]

In the end, it was Day 3 that has cost China the top spot with losses in diving, table tennis and weightlifting (which also prevented sweeps in all of those sports). 

[vinipereira 3,419]

Best position ever for at the medal table (12th). Hoping for a record also at the Paralympics but it will be difficult (7th in 2012 is our best).

[Tigercub 72]

Silver for  in Women’s Boxing Middleweight so  secures 4th place in Medal Tally and  officially at first

 

 

[MagyarBabu 153]

backs to 20 total medals since 1996

6 gold is fine, I had predicted 8 but  7 is what I really expected (one more gold from Hosszú/Men's Finn/Siklósi in Epee/Men's Team Sabre/W K2-500/Open Water), so a little bit disappointing.

I've to say, I think we had a good team this year, far better than Rio. These are 20 clean medals without overperformances, without surprise medals and with 14 (!!!) 4th places.

2 golds and 2 bronze for Ireland, I am over the moon with that. I hoped for 4-5 medals and one gold so definitely met my wish. And we left a few medals out there too which bodes well too since we definitely didn’t have a perfect Games. Buzzing to follow the Road to Tokyo Paris now

I don't think China have ever had a clean sweep in diving. They always fail to win 1-2 of the events.

The only remaining thing to be decided among the top ten countries is whether France can overtake Germany and Italy to finish 8th by winning the women's handball final.

We lost the gold medal race 38-39 on the last day. A little bit sad but still quite excited when you engaged in this full process. It's an almost perfect OG for us with 38 golds and 88 medals with some breakthrough and some unexpected losses. But it's the beauty of sport and Olympics. Start to looking forward to Paris 2024 now.
