Yeah knew about that one but got confused since they both play France in gold medal match. So 3 gold medal matches left that I know of and down 3 medals.

Is there anything else for China or US?

The Wonen are what the US would be if 90% of our athletes didn’t play Football/Baseball/Basketball

USA women's water polo....expecting Gold, now no medal. What happened to this juggernaut?

A few sports that used to be ours, we're not showing up anymore.

Men's Long Jump
Women's Beach Volleyball

Those should be regular Golds.

Rutherford and Synder haven’t started yet I dont think.

Rutherford is I think the only World Champion we brought to Paris.

American sports. Do all of India’s athletes just play Cricket?

It blows my mind that a country with the same population of china can’t produce a single gold medalist. 75+ gold medals will come from 2/3 largest countries and the third adds 0 to that number.

I believe if you have enough money and free time to play sports in India, you are indeed only playing cricket.

Honestly, for people from India, winning whatever championships they have for their cricket leagues is probably bigger for them than winning a non-cricket Olympic medal.

China is richer and more intent on promoting themselves via international sporting competition than India is at the moment.

US basketball players should be used to home court/narrative-induced whistles, to be honest. We need to start strong because if it’s down to the wire, we won’t get a single call.
