Olympic Medal Tally (3rd August)

The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXII Olympiad and branded as Tokyo 2020, is an ongoing international multi-sport event being held from 23 July to 8 August 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. The Event is nearing its end and here is the medal tally as of now:-

Team USA got off to a slow start during the Tokyo Summer Olympics, competing in five of the seven available events on the first day, but winning zero medals. It marked the United States' worst start to the Summer Games since the 1972 Munich Games.

After the unusual start, things turned the following morning, with America picking up its first medals early on day two thanks to swimmers Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland — who won gold and silver, respectively, in the men's 400m individual medley.

While there's still plenty of competition to go, the U.S. has a long history of winning big at the Summer Games, finishing atop the medal count for 15 of the 27 Olympics America has competed in. 

Team USA also made history in 2016, picking up a record-breaking 121 medals — and finishing at the top of the overall medal chart for the sixth consecutive Games.

As of Monday the U.S. is leading with a total of 63 medals thus far — 21 of which are gold — while China trails not far behind with 62 total medals. The Russian Olympic Committee follows in third with 50 medals, and host country Japan has 32.
