Medal Count 2021 Olympics: Updated Standings, Highlights After Day 7
The Tokyo Olympics have officially reached the one-week mark, and a few countries are beginning to separate themselves in the medal count.
The United States has the lead in the overall medal count with 41 top-three medal finishes. However, China has 40 total medals and leads the pack with 19 golds. Host country Japan has fared well, with 17 gold medals and 28 overall, while the Russian Olympic Committee has 10 golds and 34 overall medals.
For those unfamiliar, Russian athletes are competing under the name Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) after last year's banning of Russia's team name by the Court of Arbitration for Sport for doping violations.
