(Tokyo Olympics) Half-way forward: The total number of gold medals will surpass Rio, China hopes to return to the second place in the gold medal list
China News Service, Tokyo, July 31 (Reporter Wang Zumin) The Tokyo Olympics is halfway through. As of 18:00 local time on the 31st, the Chinese Army temporarily ranked first in the gold medal list and medal list with 21 gold medals and 45 medals, surpassing Rio. The 26 Olympic gold medals should only be a matter of time.
At the Rio Olympics five years ago, the Chinese delegation not only set a new low in the total number of gold medals in the five Olympic Games since entering the new century, but also fell out of the top two in the gold medal list for the first time since the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Before this Olympics, the host Japan team shouted out the goal of "winning 30 gold medals" in a high-profile manner, intending to suppress the Chinese team in the gold medal standings.
But judging from the distribution of the medals in the first half and the schedule in the second half, the Chinese team should surpass the Japanese team and at least ensure the second place in the gold medal standings.
Gold medal battle: China is expected to win another 10-15 gold
In the second half of the journey, the superior projects of the Chinese Army will continue to exert strength.
There will also be 4 single gold medals in the diving competition, and the men's and women's table tennis double championships will also be decided. Women's weightlifting 87 kg and above 87 kg will have 2 gold medals to be scored. If nothing else, China's three major "aces" should be taken. These 8 gold medals.
On July 25, local time, the women's double three-meter diving final of the Tokyo Olympics was held at the Tokyo Aquatic Center. Chinese combination Shi Tingmao and Wang Han won the gold medal with 326.40 points.
The two will also launch an impact on the single-player gold medal.

The finals of 10 individual events in gymnastics kicked off on August 1, when the Chinese team won at least one gold medal; badminton will also have three gold medals in men’s and women’s singles and women’s doubles. The men's 50-meter rifle in three positions and the men's 25-meter pistol have two gold medals in rapid-fire. In these two Olympic gold medals and medals, the Chinese gunners hope to do more.
If so, only in advantageous projects, the Chinese team is expected to get around 10 gold.
The track and field competition has just kicked off. The Chinese team has gained in the women's shot put and men's and women's race walking three major gold medals. It is also expected to compete for medals in women's hammer throw, women's javelin, men's long jump, and men's triple jump.
The kayaking still water event with 12 gold medals will start the final on August 3rd. The Chinese team has the ability to make gold in the men's double rowing 1000m and women's double rowing 500m.
Data map: In the Rio Olympics track cycling women's team race, the Chinese team composed of Gong Jinjie and Zhong Tianhe won the gold medal in 32 seconds 107.
Track cycling will kick off on August 2nd.
The Rio Olympic gold medalist Zhong Tianyi will bring her new partner Bao Shanju to fight for the gold medal in the women's team racing event.
The two will also participate in the women's race and the Kairin race.
After the "big gold medalist" swimming ends, the other two swimming events will be launched one after another.
In the most beautiful synchronized swimming event, the gap between the Chinese team and the overlord Russia is narrowing. The Chinese flower swimmer, which has won the Olympic silver medal, will strive for the gold medal; in the marathon swimming event, Xin Xin, the fourth place in Rio, returns as the overlord of the World Championships. For the Olympics, look forward to winning medals and even gold medals.
Karate entered the Olympics for the first time. Although it was a "private order" of the host, Chinese female athlete Yin Xiaoyan won the Jakarta Asian Games champion and ranked first in the women's 61 kg class in Olympic points.
Boxing, sailing, windsurfing, and wrestling are all events that the Chinese team has won medals and even gold medals in the Olympics. What it can do this time is worth looking forward to.
In the previous Olympics, the Chinese Army has achieved breakthroughs with unpredictable "dark horses" before the games. In Tokyo, who will bring surprises?
It is worth mentioning that whether it was in the London Olympics, which set the best overseas Olympic results, or in the Rio Olympics, which set the lowest number of gold medals in the nearly five Olympic Games, the Chinese Army won 13 gold medals in the second half.
The battle for the gold medal list: China should return to second place
In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Chinese delegation was among the top three in the gold medal list for the first time.
Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, the gold medal list has become a battle between China and the United States.
However, at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese team's 26 gold medals set the lowest total number of gold medals in the first 5 Olympic Games in the new century. The ranking on the gold medal list also fell out of the top two for the first time since 2004. The British team scored 27 gold medals. Ranked second.
Up to now, although the US team temporarily ranks third, the Olympic hegemon has great stamina. It has an advantage in track and field, kayaking, cycling and other gold medals and three major events, and should be able to return to the top of the gold medal list.
The British team, which unexpectedly ranked second in the gold medal list last year, has won 8 gold medals so far, temporarily ranking sixth in the gold medal list, and has withdrawn from the top three competition.
The Japanese team, which has won 17 gold medals, has already created the best result in its Olympic history.
Whether they can achieve their pre-match goal of "getting 30 gold medals" is difficult to predict, but it may not be easy to suppress the Chinese team on the gold medal list.
In this Olympics, the Japanese team's main gold medals were concentrated on the "two tracks". The first half was Judo. They won 9 judo gold medals, more than half of the total number of gold medals in the Japanese team.
The second half is karate, and karate with 8 gold medals is tailor-made for the host.
However, in the second half, in addition to the Japanese team having a greater advantage in the karate arena, gold medals in other events may be far from competing with the Chinese team.
Therefore, the Chinese team is expected to return to the second place in the gold medal list and narrow the gap with the US team.
