This may all be moot in a couple of hours and so maybe I should save this post until tomorrow morning, but what the hell. I haven't done anything in awhile.
Michael Phelps has gone 3 for 3 in finals so far, with one more scheduled for later on tonight. And still, Phelps is ahead of the curve in the gold medal count, with only four other nations having more gold than he does.
The current standings of nations with gold medals are China with 13, USA (with Phelps' gold medals) 7, South Korea 5, Germany 4.
Australia, Italy and Japan are all tied with Phelps with three gold medals apiece (as of 5:05 p.m. Pacific Time). That means that Phelps has more gold than 197 other competing nations.
Pretty impressive.
On a side note, it looks like the prediction that China would challenge the U.S. in the medal count has come to fruition. Currently, the Americans have the overall lead by two medals. However, as noted above, the Chinese have the lead in the gold medal count by six.
The U.S. has got some work to do and Phelps is doing everything he can.
