The closing ceremony went over stunningly, everything was well executed, the performers did very well, and sadly, the torch was extinguished. This concluded the summer Olympic games , and will probably be the last in our lifetime to be held in England. Everything was stunning. At times like this, we can all see what the world would have been like if we had world peace, everyone coming together, no bias, racism, or violence. Just friendly competition. Everyone had a chance, some did better than others, but in the end, this was a pleasure for every country. Former enemies came aboard as friendly competitors. It’s just such a stunning thing to see. We hope everyone enjoyed these Olympics, we know we did. And good luck to those whom will return in another couple of years

So, the Olympic totals are finally in. The USA finishes first with an astounding 104 medals total, followed by china with 87, Russia with 82, Great Britain with 65 and Germany with 44. All the other countries listed also did stunning, some tiny ones managed to pull off a few medals. We are happy to see another safe, and enjoyable Olympic games has happened. We are sad to see it end, but everything is “here today, gone tomorrow” – Marcus Aurelius.
Ok, so China is still leading the pack with 73 total medals, the USA is behind with 70, UK and Russia are still tied with 48 medals each. Then Germany lies in fifth with 31, Japan in 6th with 29, and France has 28. The Olympics are beginning to intensify, but we can already predict it will mainly be a clash between the USA and China. Good luck to everyone!
So as you can see, the USA has steadily increased in the quantity of medals, now beating china by 3 total,Japan clings for third for the second day as Germany now goes ahead of France for fourth place, tied with the new competitor in town: Russia. France is then solidly in 6th with 16, the UK is catching up with 15, followed by South Korea,Italy, Australia, Canada, The Netherlands, Ukraine, Romania, North Korea, Hungary, Brazil , Mexico, Kazakhstan, and South Africa in that order, a ton of other countries have some medals, but we want you to see the statistics in a “number perspective” so we omitted 21-x. We are excited to see how this will all play out, but China and the USA seem to be dominating the first two places, as they did four years earlier in Beijing.
