The Australian team is still in the lead. And China is now sixth!
On the second day of the Paris 2024 Olympics, 13 sets of medals were awarded. Unfortunately, Russian fans are forced to watch the changes in the unofficial medal standings from the sidelines, but a lot of interesting things are happening in the main battle of the Olympics!
Curiously, the Australian team is still in the lead! Canoeist Jessica Fox won her country’s fourth gold medal. And the representatives of the country of the Kangaroos remained in first place with a score of 4 – 2 – 0.
Four countries could take over Australia at once: the United States, France, Japan and South Korea. But at least one more gold medal was needed.
Chronology of the main events of the second day of the Olympic Games:
Mirra Andreeva was dramatically eliminated in the first round. What do you remember from the second day of the 2024 Olympics?
Interestingly, all four countries have three gold medals, at least two silver medals and at least one bronze medal. That is, any victory puts the team in first place (if Australia does not escape first).
In terms of the total number of awards, the United States has no rival: 12 (3 – 6 – 3). There may not be enough gold, but the Americans will of course get it anyway.
But the French, on the other hand, seem to be going overboard with their medal plan: if swimmer Marchand’s victory was predictable, cyclist Ferrand-Prévot’s success was a surprise. But the hosts of the Games always get more than usual.
It is curious that China has fallen back to sixth place. The Celestial Empire also has three golds, but only one silver. Will the Chinese be able to catch up with their competitors? Definitely. They will catch up, catch up and even fight with the Americans!
