The Rio Farce: End of Day 10: Global Equalization

• With the defeat of Allyson Felix in the 400 meters by Bahamas' Shaunae Miller (who leaped at the line to sprawl out in her lane to have her torso cross first before Felix), the USA wins ZERO gold medals on the day.  Only two since the pool closed (and one of those was guaranteed beforehand in the mixed doubles tennis because both finalists were American!).
• USA women's field hockey, NBC darlings of the first week, OUT at the hands of Germany, 2-1.  No medal.
• The United States, through three days at the track:  NO gold medals on the track itself.  Two field-event golds, nothing on the track.  No nation, through three days of track and field, has more than two gold medals in 17 completed events.  (Jamaica, with the two 100m victories, and Kenya with two distance victories, have two as well.)
• One gold medal for the Final Five in individual apparatus competition.
• The qualification re-run of the men's 110m hurdles due to the conditions did bump one previously-qualified hurdler out.
• Interesting statistic:  If the 16 gold medals and 33 medals were removed from the USA total, the USA would now stand fourth in golds and second in total.
• As it stands, they still have the 26 golds for a large lead.  Great Britain, with a good showing in equestrian among other sports, now has second on the gold table, with 16, one ahead of China. Russia is fourth with 11.  The USA still has the total lead with 75, China second with 46 and Great Britain with 41.
• 49 nations have won gold medals.  (The entire London 2012 Games had 54.)
• 72 countries have won medals.  (London 2012 had 85.) 
• Bahrain has become the seventh country to win a first gold medal in their Olympic history here.  3000m women's steeplechase champion Ruth Jebet broke the country's maiden in that respect.
• Kosovo and Fiji still remain the only two nations to win their first medal in their Olympic history here -- and they were two of the seven to do it with a gold medal.
