Olympic Medal Map - Day 12
Games without frontiers
Aug 9th 2012, 15:56 by The Economist online
AFFIRMING stereotype, China took all the golds on offer in table tennis, while America's women's beach volleyball teams sauntered to the podium for gold and silver on day 12 of the Games. Our medal map shows that so far, Europe is sweeping canoeing (and maintaining its sweep in equestrian). On day 13, Jamaica's Usain Bolt, who already won gold in the 100m sprint, will compete in the 200m.
