Olympic 2021 Medal Count: Final Tally, Winners from Day 2 Early Events

The United States used a wave of 10 medals to surge near the top of the Tokyo Olympics medal leaderboard through two days of medal events.

The Americans picked up their first six medals of the Games in the swimming pool on Saturday night. Chase Kalisz was the only winner of the group. The United States produced two silvers and three bronzes over the four events in the pool.

While most Americans were sleeping, the American gold medal haul ballooned thanks to Lee Kiefer in women's fencing, Will Shaner in men's shooting and Anastasija Zolotic in taekwondo.
