At the conclusion of the pool swimming events on day 6, China had 12 golds to the USA’s 11, but the Americans now have 16 golds to take a leg up over China’s 12.

Japan still no golds… Hagino could change that, but disappointing to say the least.

The US won gold in women’s water polo and the women’s 5K, so that’s a total of 16 golds.

Noticed this too. As recently as 1996, I want to say they had the overall 2nd highest medal haul in pool swimming, even though no golds (?).

Since Biedermann and Steffen retired they have really dropped off.

Apart from Koch and Hentke winning the odd medal here or there they’ve been invisible. Even in open water swimming which they used to dominate not too long ago they’ve been overtaken by the French, Dutch, Italians, and Americans.

So without swimming, the US All Sports medal total would be 6? Is that what you’re saying? And that the US has 31 of the 104 medals awarded in swimming thus far?
