Mollie O’Callaghan’s Gold Moves Australia To Top Of Medal Table Once Again

2024 PARIS SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

Australia led through day 1 of the medal table but then fell to second after winning zero medals last night. They now re-take the lead with three gold medals after Mollie O’Callaghan led a 1-2 finish with Ariarne Titmus in the women’s 200 freestyle.

Still, the Australian and US rivalry is alive and well as the US leads the total medals table with 11 total medals. The US led after night 2 but came up short of gold on night 3, instead adding one silver and three bronze tonight.

South Africa’s Tatjana Smith captured the first medal for the country winning gold in the women’s 100 breast. Romania also enters the medal table for the first time after David Popovici‘s gold in the men’s 200 free.

Perhaps the biggest surprise through night 3 is China who has yet to win a gold medal. In addition, the country only had two golds on all of day three which was a disappointment on the day.

Lol…I think the Aussies have taken over swimswam. 6 can never be more than 11. Never has, never will. USA is TOP of medal table.
Australia has one more gold than USA, but USA clearly has the MOST medals.

That really was a stupid mistake. Does no one proof read anything?

Wasn’t a mistake mate. I was pointing out the counting of three different metals (gold, silver and bronze) to make themselves feel like they are on top. The official ‘medal’ tally is sorted by gold. Why wouldn’t they use the official one!
