The United States entered Sunday with a slight lead in the overall and gold medal count, but that was erased following a somewhat disappointing day in gymnastics, track & field, and other various events. China, which has battled the U.S. throughout the first week for the medal lead, has reclaimed first place with a total of 61 medals. Team USA has combined to win 60 thus far.
