With just two days remaining until the closing ceremony, China continues to lead in the Olympic gold medal tally, with 47 golds -- 16 more than the United States, which is in second place in the gold medal standings with 31.
The Americans lead the overall medal count, with 102 through Friday's competition. China is second with 89.
China's gold medal count is impressive, but the Chinese haven't necessarily accomplished it the way they hoped to. China launched Project 119 with the hope of winning a dozen or more gold medals in swimming, track and field and outdoor water sports, but in reality China has been almost totally shut out in those sports. Instead, China has gotten even better in sports it was already good at, especially men's gymnastics, in which China won every gold medal except one.
