Latest National Games Gold Medal Standings: Jiangsu Rockets to Fourth with 5 Golds, Guangdong and Shandong at 14 Golds & Henan Claims First Gold, Five Teams Surpass Double Digits

On November 10th Beijing time, the opening day of the National Games began, with 33 gold medals awarded today, to be divided among numerous teams. Many golds have been decided so far, leading to major changes in the current medal standings. Reviewing the situation, Guangdong, Shandong, and Zhejiang are ranked top three; Jiangsu has grabbed 5 golds to climb into fourth place; five teams have already surpassed ten gold medals; Henan secured its first gold; and 23 teams have claimed gold medals in total!

Shandong added another gold on this competition day, bringing their total to 14 gold medals, tying Guangdong’s count but ranking second due to one fewer bronze medal. Guangdong leads both the medal and overall award charts with 40 medals. The fierce battle for the top spot between these two teams remains suspenseful. Meanwhile, Zhejiang trails by three golds, so the gap is still relatively close!

Jiangsu was relatively quiet before the opening ceremony, but today they exploded with a strong gold medal surge, capturing 5 golds across various events, pushing their total golds beyond double digits—truly remarkable. This surge propelled Jiangsu up to fourth place rapidly. Meanwhile, the municipality of Shanghai added another gold to surpass 10 golds but slipped to sixth place, overtaken by Jiangsu!

Henan, a populous province, finally broke its gold medal drought by winning a gold in rowing, temporarily placing 20th on the gold medal leaderboard and ending a long wait. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of Henan’s gold medal haul, with efforts to secure many more golds in the future!

Tonight, many gold medals will be awarded at the National Games, including multiple in swimming. Zhejiang’s gold medal count is expected to rise again. The latest medal standings have basically returned to normal, with several strong coastal provinces once again leading the board. The correlation with economic strength is significant, making the medal tally a competition among provinces, drawing considerable attention and discussion!
