China got out to a fast start at the top of the Tokyo Olympics medal table during the first full day of competition.
China picked up four medals from fencing, shooting and weightlifting to pick up an early lead on the United States of America.
The Americans are not on the medal board yet, but they have a chance to pick up some top-three finishes in the swimming pool on Saturday night.
A total of 37 medals were handed out on Saturday morning across seven sports. The first gold was won by China's Qian Yang in the women's 10-meter air rifle event in shooting.
