Wow, that's harsh. Did not expect to be in the top 10 here.

 

These Games were successful for us, but if we are not careful, we may end going down the Lithuanian road.

I also added the gold and the total medal differentials to get a sense of who are the biggest winners and losers overall compared to Rio:

Australia and NZ had a great games. In saying that though NZ had a terrible Sailing regatta and questions are being asked and one reason is that lack of international sailing during COVID hurt them. They were expecting 4 medals and only garnered 1. Perhaps the one sport along with Equestrian that underperformed. Everything else expected. Gymnastics, Tennis and Triathlon were surprise medals. So that made up the offset of the poor performance of the sailors.

We wish, but we have +5 not +6 difference from Rio (2 to 7). It could have been better if our top medal contenders performed, but well.... can't complain much after how it ended!

After Final Day Rio: 306/306 events, 86 NOCs with medals

After Final Day Tokyo: 339/339 events, 93 NOCs with medals

 

 

On an exciting final day the  US (46-37-38 in Rio) managed to snatch away first place from the  Chinese (26-18-26 in Rio). Even on a loss of projected medals for the US team, they have been capable of holding off anyone else. The Chinese however with a better performance compared to Rio. Very fine games for the  hosts here (12-8-21 in Rio). The Japanese have turned many bronze medals into golden ones this time. Their judo team has made them proud and the inclusion of new sports have helped them. Especially in skateboarding. In total medals however, they fall short on  (19-17-20 in Rio under ) and  the British (27-23-17 in Rio), holding off the Russians for 4th place. As stated before, remarkable games for the  Australians with a gain of 9 golds and 17 more medals total compared to Rio (8-11-10).

 

 South Korea leave the Top 10 while the  Dutch did not disappoint after the games have begun troublesome for them. 10 medals were required this time to reach the Top 10 in the medal table. 

 

As @Vektor already summarised, the biggest gainers and losers can be seen in his post.

That means the following NOCs were one step shy from winning a medal this time:

I’ve enjoyed these round ups. Thanks for the efforts @Quasit!

Me too got to admit it was pretty helpful

As for continental representation, we have the following outcome:

 

 

2016 Rio

 

 Europe  139-155-165 [459]

Americas  76-60-74 [210]

 Asia 69-54-88 [211]

 Aus. + Oceania 13-20-15 [48]

 Africa 10-18-18 [45]

 

2020 Tokyo

 

 Europe 147-173-203 [523]

 Asia 86-71-84 [241]

 Americas 71-69-71 [211]

 Aus. + Oceania 25-13-30 [68]

 Africa 11-12-14 [37]

 

All in all, Asian countries have gained more medals on their soil, mainly thanks to  Japan and  China improving compared to last time.

Europe with the largest gain in medals, also thanks to the many new events. Disappointing games for African countries this time. Doesn't help them when European and American nations take away medals from them in running.

 Australia and  New Zealand boost Oceanias medal haul. Other than  Fiji however, these remain the only three countries with medals for the region.
