The latest medal standings for the Universiade: Japan dominates with 33 golds in first place, while China drops to 28 golds, tying with the United States.

On July 27, Beijing time, the Rhine-Ruhr Universiade concluded its penultimate competition day. The Chinese team secured 5 gold medals in a single day, while Japan achieved a remarkable feat by winning 11 golds in one day. As a result, the latest medal standings have changed significantly, with Japan rising two spots to take the top position, the United States remaining in second place, and China increasing its total to 28 golds but dropping to third. South Korea, with 3 golds on the day, reached a total of 20 golds, placing fourth!

The Japanese team came on strong this competition day, igniting a frenzy of gold medal wins, snatching up 11 golds in a single day, and being the first to surpass the 30 gold mark. Moreover, most of Japan's gold medals were won in the last three competition days, totaling an impressive 23 golds in that span. Their speed in winning gold is truly remarkable, and it must be said that Japan has been incredibly dominant in this Universiade, successfully surpassing the United States to claim the top spot!

The United States has significantly improved its gold medal-winning capability in this event, having already surpassed last edition's total of 1 gold, currently standing at 28 golds. However, they have not secured any medals in the last two competition days, facing a medal drought. Consequently, their position at the top is no longer secure, as Japan has overtaken them, dropping the U.S. to second place!

The Chinese contingent has seen a significant decline in its gold medal-winning capability this time, with many expected victories turning into disappointments, a scenario not witnessed in previous Universiades. This has led to the U.S. overshadowing China on the medal table. Although China managed to win 5 golds in this competition day, bringing their total to 28 golds, they have dropped one spot to third place. This is primarily due to Japan's explosive performance in this Universiade, winning golds at lightning speed!

Currently, in the latest medal standings, four countries have surpassed the 20 gold mark: Japan, the United States, China, and South Korea, with only Japan breaking the 30 gold barrier. Additionally, the number of countries with double-digit golds has increased to five, with Italy securing 10 golds. With only one competition day remaining in the Universiade, the top three positions on the medal table could still change. The biggest question remains: can the Chinese team make a last-minute push to claim the top spot? Let's wait and see!
