China - Still leads the medal count
In 2008, for the first time, we saw China winning the medal count for most gold medals. In the past Olympics, this was unknown and not seen. We all know that the gap was narrowing between the USA and China for the last few years. In the recent, Olympics 2012, in the beginning, we saw China leading. Later on, we saw the USA leading. Right now, China is leading the USA by 4 gold medals. It is yet to be seen finally who is going to be the final victor. As this Olympics serves to have no home ground advantage for China, it will be very interesting to see who is finally going to top the medal tally.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | China | 33 | 20 | 16 | 69 |
| 2 | United States | 29 | 15 | 20 | 64 |
| 3 | Great Britain | 19 | 12 | 12 | 43 |
| 4 | South Korea | 11 | 5 | 6 | 22 |
| 5 | Russia | 8 | 17 | 18 | 43 |
