On November 16th Beijing time, the sixth day of the National Games ended yesterday with 32 gold medals awarded and quickly claimed. Guangdong had a breakout day, winning 7 golds at once to become the top winner. This led to a major reshuffle in the gold medal leaderboard: Shandong collected 3 golds to total 35, ranking first; Guangdong’s 7 golds brought them to 33 for second place; Jiangsu’s 2 golds surpassed Zhejiang to retake third; Hong Kong’s 5 golds ranked them 18th, and 11 teams now have double-digit gold medal counts!

Shandong was silent on the previous competition day, earning no gold medals, which reduced their lead. On this day, they won three golds, bringing their total to 35 and maintaining first place, but their lead over second-place Guangdong shrank to just 2 golds, reigniting the battle for the top spot. Guangdong is poised to challenge Shandong’s five consecutive championships. In the overall medal count, Shandong dropped to second with 98 medals, trailing Guangdong!

Guangdong came out strong on this competition day, grabbing 7 gold medals at once. Their total gold count surpassed 30, making them the second team to do so, ranking second with 33 golds. They not only closed in on Shandong but also widened the gap from the chasing teams behind. Additionally, Guangdong earned many silver and bronze medals on this day, totaling 101 medals, which allowed them to overtake Shandong and claim first place in the overall medal standings. The host team’s strength is undeniable, and the fierce rivalry between these two giants continues!

Jiangsu won 2 gold medals on this day, including a highly significant women’s soccer gold, defeating Hubei to claim the title and successfully overtaking Zhejiang to reclaim third place, pushing Zhejiang to fourth. Hong Kong secured another gold today in the women’s 100m freestyle, bringing their total to 5 golds and climbing to 18th place. Hong Kong’s sports performance is impressive, far surpassing Macau!

Currently, Shandong leads the gold medal standings by a narrow margin of 2 golds over Guangdong, making the top position unstable. In the overall medal table, Guangdong has overtaken Shandong by 2 medals to reclaim first place. The rivalry between these two powerhouses continues. Eleven teams have now achieved double-digit gold medal counts. Meanwhile, Qinghai, Gansu, and Macau remain without any gold medals, with Macau having the embarrassing distinction of not winning any medals at all. We look forward to more exciting competitions ahead—let’s wait and see!
