我要评论With just a handful of days left until the Olympic torch moves on from Rio and the games finish for another four years, the medal table has shaken out largely as expected.
As of Wednesday morning, Team USA was on top with 28 gold, 30 silver and 28 bronze, pulling in 86 medals in total.

In 16th place, the host nation Brazil, with three gold medals and 11 medals in total.

The University of Georgia has produced an astonishing 48 athletes at the Games this year, according to reports. Its ten medals would put them 14th in the ranking if alumni of the university were considered their own nation.
Among the winning ex-students, Shaunae Miller from the Bahamas, who literally dived over the finish line to bag gold in the women's 400-meter final on the track. And Allison Schmitt, who took home gold for the U.S. in the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay and silver in the women's 4x100-meter relay in the pool.

Melanie Margalis took gold in the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay while Brittany MacLean bagged bronze for Canada in the same race.
Canadian Chantal Van Landeghem also took bronze, in the women's 4x100-meter freestyle relay.
The rest were American triumphs: Gunnar Bentz winning gold in the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay; Chase Kalisz getting silver in the men's 400-meter individual medley; Amanda Weir gaining silver in the women's 4x100 freestyle relay; and Olivia Smoglia earning gold in the women's 4x100 medley relay.
So, if you're dreaming of Olympic success in Tokyo or beyond, there's one admissions office you might want to direct enquiries to.
