The United States and China have been trailing one another in their 2012 Olympic medal count totals. Both countries began as the leaders in medal gathering, only differing by very little. However, competitions in Track & Field will most likely mark the demise of China's threat in the Olympic medal count victory.
The 2012 London Olympics finished Day 1 of full gaming events and the race for most medals per country has begun. China currently leads with 6 medals (including 4 golds) and the United States follows closely with 5 medals (including 1 gold) in the medal count.
