Medal Count 2016 Olympics: Twitter Reacts to Standings and Results on Sunday

The rest of the world is running out of events at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro to catch up to the United States in the medal tally.

Thanks to strong efforts from Simone Biles in gymnastics, Justin Gatlin in the 100-meter dash and Matt Kuchar in golf, among others, the Americans are far ahead of every other country in the race for the most medals.

Twitter users had plenty of reactions to the developments as the United States strengthened its lead over China and others in the medal tracker Sunday:

Biles is one of the marquee names at the 2016 Games thanks to her overall dominance in gymnastics, and she won her third gold medal in Rio on Sunday with a triumph in the vault.
