Despite the new record, the Dutch Olympians have ‘only’ maintained themselves as number 10 in the medal standings. Friday’s harvest was not enough to pass Italy or France. These countries also won seven gold medals in Tokyo and slightly more silver than TeamNL.
In addition to the seven Olympic titles, the Orange can show off with nine silver medals and ten bronze. With a total of 26 medals, the Netherlands is also tenth in that ranking in terms of number.
China
China is still at the top of the rankings with 74 medals: 34 gold, 24 silver and 16 bronze. The American team (29-35-27) remains second due to the smaller number of Olympic champions, but with an impressive collection of medals, 91 pieces. Host nation Japan (22-10-14) remained third, followed by Australia (17-5-19), Russia (16-22-20) and Great Britain (16-18-17)
