Tar Heels in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (August 4 Update)

Ryder Ryan, Tim Federowicz, and the USA Baseball team are into the medal rounds of competition.

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics has come down to its final days. With gymnastics wrapping up, most of the attention is on the track and field events. 

Simone Biles was indeed able to compete in the final individual event, the balance beam, and claimed bronze. 

TAR HEELS IN THE OLYMPICS

11 of the 12 Tar Heels in Tokyo have already begun competition. Only Camilla Feeley (Rhythmic Gymnastics) has not. 

Since the last update, the US women's soccer team lost to Canada in the semifinals, so now Tar Heels Tobin Heath and Crystal Dunn will play another match against Australia for the bronze medal. 

The US baseball team lost to Japan in extra innings in the winner's bracket. They then defeated Dominican Republic and are now one win away from the gold medal match. While Tim Federowicz has yet to see game action, Ryder Ryan has pitched well in multiple appearances and is yet to allow a run.

In diving action, Aranza Vazquez (Mexico) finished sixth in the 3m springboard while Anton Down-Jenkins (New Zealand) finished eighth in the men's version of the same event. 

Kenny Selmon (USA) advanced to the semifinals of the men's 400m hurdles but was unable to make the final. 

MEDAL COUNT

As of this writing, the United States continues to lead the medal count with 75 total medals, followed by China with 69, and the ROC (Russia) with 52. China still leads the gold medal tally with 32, followed by USA with 25, and host nation Japan with 20. 

The following tables show the top 10 countries by (1) total medals and (2) gold medals:
