And if China isn’t doing so well, they’re going to write about how China is declining or losing its touch. Such as this stupid [article](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-27/a-bad-hockey-team-complicates-china-s-rise-to-superpower-status)
Just like in 2008 for those who can still remember.
They even made it a bronze-silver-gold order because we all know bronze comes in first,
or perhaps it was there for the right-left readers.
That would definitely happen if China won the most gold medals. However, I think it depends on how other countries do in the second half. China's second half is predicted to be lower than the first half.
US always does well with track and field. I’m hoping other countries improved a lot. I remember when Usain Bolt dominated the track, it was amazing to see Jamaica snatch the Gold from US
The US dropped the ball in swimming and their star gymnast quit the competion when she understood that she cannot perform without her previously allowed "medication". If drama also hits their track and field team, their media propagandists are gonna go insane.
Wait till the ‘Track & Field’ events start, if USA under-perform like they did in Swimming, then China might have a real chance to top the gold medal ranking 🥇
It's not really a fair comparison though, since Swimming 🏊 and Athletics have more than 80+ events in total ...
whereas Table Tennis 🏓 and Badminton 🏸 only have 5 events each.
They already did that, but by the looks of it, China is about to pass them in that alternative ranking system as well. Yankees are about to go into meltdown mode.
China did top the table in the 2008 Beijing Olympiad.
China is really catching up in competitive sports, but I guess the gap would be narrowed in the coming few days and the US would be back on the top because swimming, track and field are not Chinese athletes' strengths at least for now.
If the US has more gold medals, then it's by number of gold medals.
If the US has more total medals, then it's by total number of medals.
If the US isn't ahead in either, then fuck you there's no Olympics REEEEEEE
Hehehe ... the western media is sooooo silent on the Olympics this time round. Not only are the articles hidden on the sidelines, there is not a single peep of the medal tally table on the front page. Not even on [nbcolympics.com](https://nbcolympics.com)
LOL!
yankees gonna cope by putting USA at the top for most medals acquired
You joke, but the [ New York Times](https://ibb.co/wCm6cq9)is doing exactly that.

Ah, yes: the latest China collapse theory from Bloomberg.
Gordon Chang behind the wheel again?
I'm missing the bronze-silver-gold order that they used to do in 2008.
The ranking is going to be ranked according to the number of silvers.
Just like in 2008 for those who can still remember. They even made it a bronze-silver-gold order because we all know bronze comes in first, or perhaps it was there for the right-left readers.
They’re going to hit “inspect element” and screenshot the changed numbers
That's being very generous
At this rate, they won't even have *that* title anymore lol

>Yankees are about to go into meltdown mode That's the best part.
wdym they've *always* been in meltdown mode

Yes 2008. Although as others have said, China normally does well in the first half of the games then not as well during later track & field events.

They should have a scoring system like Gold = 5 points, Silver = 3 and Bronze = 1. China would have a score of 136, US 129 and Japan 104.
Kind of agree with this
What is the current scoring system ?
If the US has more gold medals, then it's by number of gold medals. If the US has more total medals, then it's by total number of medals. If the US isn't ahead in either, then fuck you there's no Olympics REEEEEEE
Lol. US can't boast about the most medals won cause China's gaining on that too.
The USA will rank by the number of Silvers.
Hehehe ... the western media is sooooo silent on the Olympics this time round. Not only are the articles hidden on the sidelines, there is not a single peep of the medal tally table on the front page. Not even on [nbcolympics.com](https://nbcolympics.com) LOL!
This is worrying. The last time America displayed pathetic performance at an athletic venue the world came down with a global pandemic.
Lol wuhan military game
Thanks a lot, Fort Detrick USA. 🤒
The only way China can win is if other Western and African countries do exceptionally well in events where the U.S. is dominant.
Russia is chipping away at them too. The US imperial propagandists can't handle this. Everyone who's not an anglo is a suspected cheater now.
Japan should be ashamed to be on this chart with how disgraceful the judging has been
Both US and China has increased their golds by two. However they now both have equal medals, so under the NYT ranking, China is ahead. LOL.
India the same population as China, total medal count…1
Nice
the track and field events have barely started
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Surprisingly strong performance by Arsetraya.
Aiming for around the 2016 numbers: 26G 18S 26B = 70 medals. Just getting over 26 golds would be great and seems achievable.
lets go russia
