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.
