Olympic 2016 Medal Count: Latest Nation Rankings and Standings for Wednesday

The United States look to stay perched atop the 2016 Rio Olympics medal table on Wednesday after ending Day 5 of the Summer Games with 10 gold medals, nine silver and nine bronze medal awards.

That total gives the leading nation a grand total of 28 medals, while China remain eight total medals behind, with nine golds, three silvers and eight bronze medals of their own.

Sam Dorman and Mike Hixon helped the United States continue their advance in the medal stakes after clinching silver in the men's synchronised three-metre springboard final, where Chinese duo Yuan Cao and Kai Qin took bronze.
