The United States and China both eclipsed the 40-medal mark during Friday's action at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The Americans hold a one-medal edge on China going into Friday night. The United States has 41 medals, with 14 of them being gold.
As they have all week, the Americans earned a majority of their medals in the swimming pool. Two silvers and a bronze were picked up across the four medal events.
China is one back of the United States on the overall medal table, but it has five more golds than its top competition.
China closed the gap between itself and the Americans by earning multiple medals in table tennis and trampoline.
