August 22, 2008: Once again, there has been no change in the position of the two top countries: China with the greatest Gold Medal total and the USA leading in the overall medal category. The US has extended its lead in the total number of medals won and narrowed the gap slightly in its Gold Medal total difference with China. Britain still remains in third place in the number of Gold Medals, though Russia, which has more oveall medals, lags by just a single award. Ireland entered the count today with two bronze medals. For kicks, the tally of the EU countries was added up; here they are. | COUNTRY | GOLD | SILVER | BRONZE | TOTAL | | 1 | EU | 76 | 84 | 83 | 243 | 479 | If it were a single entrant, the EU would have a commanding lead over other competitors. If the Roman Empire were reconstitued, it would have an impressive tally, as would the Mongols and the British Empire at its peak. The medal tally table follows.
| COUNTRY | GOLD | SILVER | BRONZE | TOTAL | | 1 | China | 47 | 17 | 25 | 89 | 200 | 2 | United States | 31 | 36 | 35 | 102 | 200 | 3 | Great Britain | 18 | 13 | 13 | 44 | 93 | 4 | Russia | 17 | 18 | 22 | 57 | 109 | 5 | Germany | 14 | 9 | 13 | 36 | 73 | 6 | Australia | 12 | 14 | 16 | 42 | 80 | 7 | South Korea | 11 | 10 | 7 | 28 | 60 | 8 | Japan | 9 | 6 | 10 | 25 | 49 | 9 | Italy | 7 | 8 | 10 | 25 | 47 | 10 | Netherlands | 7 | 5 | 4 | 16 | 35 | 11 | Jamaica | 6 | 3 | 1 | 10 | 25 | 12 | France | 5 | 13 | 16 | 34 | 57 | 13 | Ukraine | 5 | 4 | 12 | 21 | 35 | 14 | Spain | 4 | 6 | 2 | 12 | 26 | 15 | Belarus | 4 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 28 | 16 | Romania | 4 | 1 | 3 | 8 | 17 | 17 | Canada | 3 | 8 | 6 | 17 | 31 | 18 | Poland | 3 | 4 | 1 | 8 | 18 | 19 | Czech Republic | 3 | 3 | 0 | 6 | 15 | 20 | Slovakia | 3 | 2 | 1 | 6 | 14 | 21 | New Zealand | 3 | 1 | 5 | 9 | 16 | 22 | Ethiopia | 3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 12 | 23 | Georgia | 3 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 12 | 24 | Cuba | 2 | 6 | 11 | 19 | 29 | 25 | Kenya | 2 | 4 | 2 | 8 | 16 | 26 | Brazil | 2 | 3 | 7 | 12 | 19 | 27 | Denmark | 2 | 2 | 3 | 7 | 13 | 28 | North Korea | 2 | 1 | 3 | 6 | 11 | 29 | Switzerland | 2 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 9 | 30 | Hungary | 1 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 15 | 31 | Kazakhstan | 1 | 4 | 6 | 11 | 17 | 32 | Turkey | 1 | 4 | 3 | 8 | 14 | 33 | Norway | 1 | 4 | 2 | 7 | 13 | 34 | Zimbabwe | 1 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 9 | 35 | Azerbaijan | 1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 11 | 36 | Uzbekistan | 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 | 10 | 37 | Slovenia | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 9 | 38 | Bulgaria | 1 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 39 | Indonesia | 1 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 8 | 40 | Finland | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 6 | 41 | Estonia | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 42 | Mongolia | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 43 | Portugal | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 44 | Thailand | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 45 | Argentina | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 46 | India | 1 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 47 | Iran | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 48 | Latvia | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 49 | Mexico | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 50 | Bahrain | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 51 | Cameroon | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 52 | Panama | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 53 | Tunisia | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 54 | Sweden | 0 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 9 | 55 | Lithuania | 0 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 56 | Trinidad and Tobago | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 57 | Croatia | 0 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 58 | Austria | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 59 | Greece | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 60 | Algeria | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 61 | Colombia | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 62 | Kyrgyzstan | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 63 | Serbia | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 64 | Tajikistan | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 65 | Belgium | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 66 | Chile | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 67 | Dominican Republic | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 68 | Ecuador | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 69 | Malaysia | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 70 | Singapore | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 71 | South Africa | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 72 | Vietnam | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 73 | Armenia | 0 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 74 | Taiwan | 0 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 75 | Ireland | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 76 | Nigeria | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 77 | Afghanistan | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 78 | Bahamas | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 79 | Egypt | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 80 | Israel | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 81 | Mauritius | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 82 | Moldova | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 83 | Morocco | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 84 | Togo | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 85 | Venezuela | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | For more information, visit the NBC website: Olympic Medal winners at NBC Olympics.com!
