The Americans, however, weren't the entire story of the day. Plenty of individuals from other countries stood atop the podium on Tuesday. Let's take a look at all of the day's medal winners and what to expect as we continue through the 2012 Olympic Games. 

For a complete look at all of Tuesday's results, click here.

Medal Winners

Canoe Slalom: Tony Estanguet

With an impressive score of 97.06, the Frenchman Estanguet took home the gold in the men's canoe single (C1).

Sideris Tasiadis of Germany won silver, while Michal Martikan of Slovakia took bronze. 

Diving: China

No surprise here, as China continues its attempt at the sweep of all diving events. 

Chen Ruolin and Wang Hao annihilated the competition with a score of 368.40 in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform, taking gold. 

More than 20 points behind, Paola Espinosa Sanchez and Alejandra Orozco Loza of Mexico took silver. Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion grabbed bronze for Canada. 

Equestrian: Germany

Germany absolutely dominated the competition. Michael Jung took gold in the individual eventing, while teammate Sandra Auffarth took bronze. Germany also took gold in the team event, giving Jung two gold medals on the day. 

Great Britain and New Zealand came in second and third. 

Fencing: Lei Sheng

Lei Sheng breezed through the men's individual foil tournament, grabbing gold for China. He beat Alaaeldin Abouelkassem of Egypt, who settled for silver.

Korea's Byungchul Choi took home bronze after beating Andrea Baldini of Italy in the bronze-medal match. 

Gymnastics: United States

The women's team competition was really never in doubt, as Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and Jordyn Wieber jumped ahead of the field and never looked back.

In the United States' first women's team win since 1996, the Americans racked up 183.596 points, five more than Russia, who won silver.

Romania held off China for the bronze medal. 

Judo: Kim Jae-Bum, Urska Zolnir

Kim Jae-Bum of Korea won the men's 81-kg competition, defeating Ole Bischof of Germany, who took silver. 

On the women's 63-kg side, Zolnir won a gold for Slovenia by beating Xu Lili of China. 

Shooting: Vincent Hancock

With a score of 148, Hancock brought home gold for the USA in men's skeet, while Anders Golding of Denmark and Nasser Al-Attiya of Qatar won silver and bronze, respectively. 

Swimming: Multiple Medal Winners

In the men's 4x200 freestyle relay, Michael Phelps anchored the United States to a gold medal, holding off Yannick Agnel, thus getting revenge and relegating the French team to silver. China took bronze.

Of course, it wasn't all gold for Phelps. In the 200-meter fly, arguably his best event, he dropped to silver, losing to South Africa's Chad Le Clos by 0.05 seconds. Takeshi Matsuda of Japan won bronze. 

On the women's side, American Allison Schmidt took gold in the 200-meter free, relegating Camille Muffat to silver and Bronte Barratt to bronze. Seventeen-year-old American Missy Franklin finished fourth.

In the 200-meter individual medley, China's Ye Schiwen took gold, Australia's Alicia Coutts grabbed bronze and Caitlin Leverenz won bronze, securing yet another medal for the United States.

Weightlifting: Maiya Maneza

In the women's 63-kg, Maneza brought home the gold to Kazakhstan while Svetlana Tsarukaeva of Russia won silver and Canada's Christine Girard took bronze. 

Day 5 Predictions (For a look at Wednesday's complete schedule, click here)

China Continues to Rule Diving

Up next in the diving competition is the men's synchronized three-meter springboard. 

Just like all of the other diving events, China is a huge favorite to win. Luo Yutong and Qin Kai are the defending World and Olympic champions, and it would be a complete shock if they didn't take home gold.

American veteran Troy Dumais and youngster Kristian Ipsen team up for the United States, and while they have no shot to reach the Chinese, they will grab at least a bronze medal. 

American Men Get Revenge in Gymnastics

After an atrocious showing in the team competition on Monday, the Americans get a shot at redemption. 

Most notably, Danell Leyva, who finished first in all-around qualifying, will look to bring America gold in the all-around for the first time since Paul Hamm did it in 2004. 

Look for Leyva to have a good day, but I expect him to drop to silver, just behind Kohei Uchimura, arguably the best male gymnast of his generation. 

Other than Leyva, Jacob Dalton has a good shot at medalling on the floor, as does Samuel Mikulak on the vault and John Orozco in the all-around.

All in all, expect the Americans to bounce back for multiple medals on Wednesday. 

Yannick Agnel Wins Another Gold

Four more gold medals will be on the line in the swimming pool on Wednesday, but the most intriguing event has to be the men's 100-meter free.

James Magnussen and Nathan Adrian, the two heat winners, should find the podium, but the 20-year-old Agnel is on an absolute tear in London. 

During the 4x100-meter freestyle relay and 200-meter freestyle, he out-raced American Ryan Lochte with ridiculous final splits. 

In this short sprint, look for Agnel pull off yet another impressive win.
