China opened its\u00a0medals account with a gold in the\u00a010m Air Rifle Mixed Team event with\u00a0Yuting Huang and Lihao Sheng beating Republic of Korea&#8217;s pair.\u00a0  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>China also bagged the second gold of the 33rd Summer Games to further extend their lead in the medals table. The Republic of Korea, the United States of America, Great Britain and Kazakhstan also opened its\u00a0medal accounts but China was the only team to win gold in the early stages of Day 1 in Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China, the five-time winners at the Olympics, fell just one gold short of topping the medal table at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The USA claimed the top spot with 39 gold medals in Tokyo and are in contention for the apex position in the Paris Games.<\/p>\n<p>The USA had to settle for a silver in the women&#8217;s synchronised 3m springboard event as China&#8217;s Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen claimed a total of 337.68 points to clinch the gold. Notably,\u00a0China has claimed gold in\u00a0the women&#8217;s synchronised 3m springboard event in each of the last six editions.    <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Paris Olympics 2024 medal table<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tableouter\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:500px\">&#13;<\/p>\n<thead>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">Rank<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">Team<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">G<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">S<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">B<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<th scope=\"col\">Total<\/th>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;\n\t<\/thead>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<tbody>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">People&#8217;s Republic of China<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">2<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">2<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">2<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">Republic of Korea<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">3<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">United States of America<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">4<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">Great Britain<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">5<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">Kazakhstan<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">0<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<td class=\"rtecenter\">1<\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t<\/tbody>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>More to follow&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/china-claims-first-gold-medal-at-paris-olympics-2024-takes-early-lead-in-medal-table-2024-07-27-943944\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY People&#8217;s Republic of China&#8217;s Yuting Huang and Lihao Sheng at Paris Olympics on July 27, 2024 People&#8217;s Republic of China claimed the first gold medal of the Paris Olympics 2024 on Day 1 of sporting events on Saturday.
