As I mentioned earlier, the gold medal race between China and the U.S. is now getting exciting. It’s been a bit boring for sometime with the U.S. stuck at 10 gold medals while China attacked in all fronts winning 22 gold medals.

But it’s now 12 golds for the United States following Ryan Lochte’s victory in the 200 meter backstroke. [The 11th came from Rebecca Soni.] Congratulations to you Ryan. Make sure you bite your gold so we will include you in our list of gold medal biters.

China’s Guo Wenjun ruled supreme in the women’s 10m air pistol making her the third Chinese athlete to win a gold medal. The score so far in the US vs. China race for gold medals is China: three golds vs. US: two golds.

But this is only the second day of the competition and there’s a long way to go for both teams.

N.B. The silver medalist for this event is Natalia Paderina of Russia while the bronze went to Nino Salukvadze of Georgia.
