The Tokyo Olympics 2020 is near its closing ceremony and the intensity of matches has increased. The pressure on athletes left to perform is extreme as it’s time to mark places in the medal tally.
With consistent performances, China and the USA have secured their place in the top two of the medal tally. The ultimate winner being out of these two seems inevitable now, as there are just two more days left.
On day fourteen of the mega-event, eleven sports saw victory ceremonies. The Olympic sports were athletics, beach volleyball, boxing, cycling track, football, hockey, karate, modern pentathlon, sport climbing, table tennis, and wrestling.
China maintained its top position with 36 gold medals
They missed out on major world championships because of the pandemic, but Chinese athletes have been terrific. China has been taking the lead consistently from day one and has the become hard to catch for other countries.

China has broken old records by clinching 78 medals, out of which 36 are gold, 26 silver, and 17 bronze. The nation had a gold rush in athletics and table tennis. They clinched five new medals on the third last day.
<h2>The USA almost hitting a century in the medal tally</h2>
Olympic powerhouse USA is just two medals away from hitting the century in the medal count in Tokyo. Team USA is still five gold medals away from China to make it to the top. They clinched seven new medals today.
The hopes are still not lost as many events are still left for the USA who arrived in Tokyo with a contingent of 600+ athletes. On day 14, the USA had a gold rush in athletics and wrestling event.
