Most Americans don't rest easy on an extra one gold victory. It could have gone either way. It's too close to call.

Also, many nations who are fence-sitters on US-China rivalry will continue being fence sitters. If you are a Japanese, would you want to be a frontline Guineapig to die for US hegemony against China? Or fence-sitters deliberating whether to join Anti-China alliance? After seeing China's performance in Olympics? I can see India, Japan, and Australia enthusiasm for QUAD wane give how powerful China is. Olympics is a proxy for national power.
China got even more medals in Beijing 2008 and London 2012. These vassal states should have realized China's power long before.

There are lots of medals in Judo and the Japanese depend on it. The Japanese dominate because the other countries are not that good in it. This should be a good event to invest in as there are about 15 events and China does not even have a medal.

A small circle among elite athletes... Dimitrij Ovtcharov/Дмитрий Овчаров, the Ukrainian-born German table tennis player, a great talent, yet he cannot beat the Horse Dragon....

Over the years, he played Ma Long 19 times, and lost all 19 matches. Competitors as well as good friends....

The German guy nearly beat Ma Long in the semi finals. He has long arms for longer reach.
