London 2012 Olympics: China's Yi Siling wins first gold medal of the Games

We still have Usain Bolt and athletes from African countries to make it tough for the Americans. USA will get some extra medals in swimming so China must try to get the extra golds from diving.

All the best to my Chinese brothers for getting more gold medals. I think both US and China are racing towards number 1, but i think China is leading the game. I saw the medal tally in Hindu news paper today, I request the members to update latest medal reports here.

Not going to say total medals is all that matters, but thats a major metric of what the US has been looking at since the 1960's.

I guess you could go so far as to call it a 'seperate event' from most golds.

Minxia Wu should hopefully get Gold in the 3m springboard diving final, should make it 23 Gold for China.
