Team USA Wins Medals Race As Tokyo Olympics Close

The Washington Post reports:

The Tokyo Olympics concluded Sunday, with the last medals awarded and the stage ceded to the Closing Ceremonies. After the coronavirus pandemic forced a year-long delay, and created an unprecedented environment of empty venues and ever-present restrictions, the Games were held in their entirety without many significant disruptions once they finally got underway.

Team USA finished atop the medal table, with the U.S. women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams winning golds Sunday to lift the United States above China. Team USA’s 113 total medals easily outpaced the competition. China finished second with 88, the Russian Olympic Committee finished third with 71, Britain finished fourth with 65 and Japan, the host nation, finished fifth with 58.
