An epic showdown between two of the best freestyle swimmers in the world. A historic gold medal for a 13-year-old skateboarder. A dominant debut for a budding NBA superstar. Day 3 of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics featured plenty of memorable performances, and it also saw a shuffling of the medal standings.
Host nation Japan added three gold medals on Day 3 to push its total to eight, the most so far at these Summer Games. The United States also captured three more gold medals to get to seven, while China failed to add another gold medal on Day 3 and is stuck on six, although it remains the overall leader with 18 total medals thanks to strong showings across several sports.
