London 2012: A Look at the Countries Leading the Medal Count at the End of Day 6

The sixth day of the 2012 London Olympics is completed, and there hasn't been a change at the top of the medal standings.

The U.S. and China are still dominating the medal count, with countries like Japan and Great Britain starting to make their move in the standings.

Here's a look at an updated look at the medal standings after day six, along with results that helped those countries reach that number.

1. China

Total Medals: 30

Gold: 17

Silver: 9

Bronze: 4

Here's a big surprise—the Chinese took home gold medals in diving and table tennis. I know...shocking, isn't it?

China continues to lead the medal count after winning three golds and two silvers.

One gold came in the men's synchronized three-meter springboard as Luo Yutong and Qin Kai literally was in a league of their own.

Also winning gold were Li Xiaoxia who beat Chinese teammate Ding Ning in the women's table tennis final and Xiaojun Lu in the men's 77-kilogram weightlifting.

Haojie Lu took silver in the same weightlifting event, while Ying Chen took silver in the 25-meter air pistol.

The other gold medal came from Liuyang Jiao in the women's 200-meter butterfly.

The Chinese should continue to stay atop the standings through the first week, but once the track and field events start, they'll likely find themselves in second behind...

2. United States

Total: 29

Gold: 12

Silver: 8

Bronze: 9

The U.S. added three golds and three bronzes in the sixth day.

Leading the charge was Kristin Armstrong in the cycling time trial, as she beat the field by 16 seconds.

The swimming 4x200-meter freestyle relay also took home gold, as did Nathan Adrian in the men's 100-meter freestyle, upsetting favorite James Magnussen in the final by .01 seconds.

The U.S. women's rowing team took bronze in the women's quad skulls, as did the men's synchronized three-meter diving team of Troy Dumais and Kristian Ipsen.

Men's gymnast Danell Leyva also took home a bronze in the men's individual all-around, salvaging what has been a disappointing Olympics thus far for U.S. men's gymnastics.

What hurt the U.S. medal count was fencing. Two-time defending gold medalist Mariel Zagunis failed to medal in the women's sabre, finishing fourth.

Still, the U.S. is in a good position to take over the medal lead by the time the weekend rolls around.

3. Japan

Total Medals: 17

Gold: 2

Silver: 4

Bronze: 11

The Japanese earned three medals on day six, with their only gold coming from Kohei Uchimura in the men's gymnastics all-around.

Two swimmers also took home bronze medals as Ryo Tateishi took third in the 200-meter breaststroke and Natsumi Hoshi took third in the 200-meter butterfly.

The Japanese will continue to garner some medals throughout the rest of the week and weekend, but their chances are slowly drying up to make a dent in the medal standings.

4. France

Total Medals: 13

Gold: 5

Silver: 3

Bronze: 5

France had another slow day in terms of medals, only garnering a bronze in the women's 4x200-meter relay in swimming.

It seems that's how the Olympics are going to be for the French: They're going to get their medals, but their final total won't be impressive.

5. Germany

Total Medals: 13

Gold: 3

Silver: 8

Bronze: 2

Germany made some strong moves as they garnered one gold, five silver and one bronze in day six.

Winning their only gold was the men's eight rowing.

Silver medals were won by the women's quad skulls rowing team. Judith Arndt and Tony Martin in the women's and men's individual cycling time trial. Kerstin Thiele in the women's 70-kilogram judo and Marcel Nguyen and in the men;s gymnastics all-around.

Hannes Aigner took home bronze in the men's K-1 kayaking.
