No surprise there, those are excellent athletes. The next event, Women's 200m Butterfly, will most likely be a China domination.

Agreed. I'd be shocked if China didn't take gold.

Japan is slaying the medals quietly I'm surprised no one has mentioned them. 17 medals so far.

That's because they have the most bronze medals with 11. You can see it on the Medal count that was posted earlier.

Yassss for Hayden.

Six medals so far is a great achievement for team Canada. So proud.

That's better than nothing, especially for Japan who has been in such turmoil these past few years.

In Beijing, Canada had 19 medals. 3 Golds. I think they're going to get more this time around

Yep. You're right. They're even in the Top 10 Gold so far.

18 actually. And they didn't get their first until day 8. We already have half the total we got in Athens too.

I think that matching their Atlanta total of 22 is possible.

Up next. Men's 200m Individual Medley semi-finals with 400m Individual Medley medallists Ryan Lochte (H1), Kosuse Hagino (H2) and Thiago Pereira (H2) with Michael Phelps (H1).

More than a quarter of the way there already, I think it's doable

I hope so! I mean for a country with 30 million people, 22 medals is astounding.

Lochte is on fire. He and Phelps go for 200m IM finals tomorrow.
