There's nothing like the Olympics. I'm glad they're back.
I like watching the crazy sports you never even knew existed.
It's early. I think the U.S. will soon take the lead in the medal count.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics began over the weekend, and after the first few days of competition, China is in the lead with the most medals, followed by the U.S. and Russia.
Here's the rundown:
China has 13 medals – six gold, two silver and five bronze.
The U.S. has 12 medals – five gold, three silver and four bronze.
Russia has seven medals – one gold, four silver and two bronze.
Highlights for the U.S. so far, include the men's 4 x 100-meter freestyle relay, which took the gold; Katie Ledecky's silver medal in the 400-meter freestyle; Anastasija Zolotic's gold in the women's 57kg taekwondo; Lee Kiefer's gold in fencing; and Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland's gold and silver, respectively, in the 400-meter individual medley.
