US Olympic Medal Count 2012: Full Breakdown of USA's Gold Medal Wins

America is the nation of the red, white and blue, but every four years, the only color anybody cares about is gold.

With the 2012 London Olympics well underway, the color of champions is once again dominating our country's collective consciousness. Sure, it would be nice to have the most total medals, but if we're lacking in golds, what's the point?

Luckily, we've racked up our fair share of gold medals thus far. We're currently trailing those pesky Chinese 13-9, but with more than half of the competitions still ahead of us, we've got a great chance to take the lead.

Until then, here's the complete listing of American golds in London thus far.

Men's Swimming: 4x200-Meter Freestyle Relay Team

Gold: USA

Silver: France

Bronze: China

Ricky Berens, Conor Dwyer, Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps absolutely crushed the competition in the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay.

The Americans finished with a blistering time of 6:59.70, which was more than three seconds faster than France and nearly six seconds faster than China.

It was an incredible performance, and it will go down in history as the race Michael Phelps broke the record for most career Olympic medals (19).

Women's Swimming: Allison Schmitt

Gold: Allison Schmitt, USA

Silver: Camille Muffat, France

Bronze: Bronte Barratt, Australia 

Allison Schmitt cruised to the title in the 200-meter freestyle, finishing with an Olympic record time of 1:53.61. That was 1.97 seconds faster than Muffat and 2.20 seconds better than Barratt.

It was also Schmitt's third medal in London, as she won silver in the 400-meter freestyle and helped Team USA win bronze in the women's 4x100-meter freestyle relay.

Women's Gymnastics: Team

Gold: USA

Silver: Russia

Bronze: Romania

As expected, the U.S. women's gymnastics team took gold in spectacular fashion. They posted a total score of 183.596 to comfortably beat the Russians (178.530).

McKayla Maroney was brilliant in the vault, Kyla Ross was excellent on the beam, and Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and Jordyn Wieber delivered incredible all-around performances.

It was the USA's first gold in this event since 1996.

Men's Skeet Shooting: Vincent Hancock

Gold: Vincent Hancock, USA

Silver: Anders Golding, Denmark

Bronze: Nasser Al-Attiya, Qatar

Vincent Hancock won his second consecutive gold medal in men's skeet shooting, becoming the first man to ever accomplish the feat.

It was a near perfect performance for the 23-year-old, as he hit 148 of 150 targets. That was two better than Golding and four better than Al-Attiya.

Women's Skeet Shooting: Kim Rhode

Gold: Kim Rhode, USA

Silver: Ning Wei, China

Bronze: Danka Bartekova, Slovakia

Kim Rhode made history in London, becoming the first American athlete to medal in five different Olympics.

She was dominant in the women's skeet shooting, hitting a ridiculous 99 of 100 targets. To put that in perspective, Ning Wei hit 91 on her way to the silver medal.

Women's Swimming: Missy Franklin

Gold: Missy Franklin, USA

Silver: Emily Seebohm, Australia

Bronze: Aya Terakawa, Japan

Missy Franklin was a popular pick to be the breakout star from London, and she didn't disappoint in her first individual event.

The 17-year-old won the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 58.33 seconds, an American record. She beat out Seebohm by 0.35 seconds and Terakawa by 0.50.

With several more events ahead of her, Franklin will have some prime opportunities to add to her gold medal tally.

Men's Swimming: Matt Grevers

Gold: Matt Grevers, USA

Silver: Nick Thoman, USA

Bronze: Ryosuke Irie, Japan

Matt Grevers doesn't have the star power of Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte, but he did something that neither of them have done in London: set an Olympic Record.

Grevers accomplished the feat in the 100-meter backstroke, finishing with a ridiculous time of 52.16 seconds. That was 0.76 seconds ahead of fellow American Thoman, 0.81 seconds ahead of Irie and just 0.22 seconds slower than the world record set by Aaron Peirsol in 2009.

Grevers also helped the men's 4x100-meter freestyle relay team win the silver, and he will compete in the 4x100-meter medley relay later this week.

Women's Swimming: Dana Vollmer

Gold: Dana Vollmer, USA

Silver: Ying Lu, China

Bronze: Alicia Coutts, Australia

Dana Vollmer catapulted herself into national prominence by setting a world record in the 100-meter butterfly. She finished with a time of 55.98 seconds, which was almost a full second faster than the second and third-place finishers.

Vollmer will also compete in the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay on Wednesday.

Men's Swimming: Ryan Lochte

Gold: Ryan Lochte, USA

Silver: Thiago Periera, Brazil

Bronze: Kosuke Hagino, Japan

Ryan Lochte won the American's first gold in London, blowing away the competition in the 400-meter individual medley.

He finished with an incredible time of 4:05.18, more than three seconds faster than the second-place finisher. Lochte followed that up by helping the men's relay teams win silver in the 4x100-meter freestyle and gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle.

He still has two events left, so don't be surprised if Lochte adds to the USA's gold medal total yet again.
