U.S. trailing China in overall medals and gold
China is still outpacing the U.S. in gold medals and in total medals as of Tuesday morning.
The London 2012 games are stacking up much like the 2008 Bejing games for China, which continues its dominance in diving and strong showings in other competitions.
The U.S. trails China 29-31 in gold medals and 63-64 total medals. But host nation Great Britian continues to stack up the medals with a huge win in Men's individual tennis. England has 19 gold and 43 total medals, coming in third in the overall tally.
