Not in overall medal count, but in gold medals. Right now, it’s about 7:00 PM PDT… China has 22 golds, and the US 21 golds. However, the US still leads in the overall medal count with 57; China has 46. Russia is lagging behind China with 36 medals overall. If China stays in second place… well, I wonder how much it could improve in 2008.

Lloyd wrote more about the Olympics on the 19th, so go check it out. (And while you’re at it… the pictures in the beginning of the entry are marvelous.)

It will be interesting to see the final medal counts.
