The latest medal tally from the Chengdu World University Games: China leads with 25 golds, surpassing the second place by 10 golds, as Xiao Guodong clinches the title.

On August 15, Beijing time, the seventh competition day of the Chengdu World University Games concluded yesterday, with 35 gold medals awarded in total. The Chinese team continued their winning momentum, securing 4 golds in a single day, bringing their total to 25 and maintaining the top position. Germany, with no golds over the last two days, holds second place with 15 golds, while Ukraine added 3 golds in one day to solidify their third place, just 1 gold behind Germany. Italy ranks fourth.

The Chinese team has secured 21 golds in the first six competition days, firmly establishing their position at the top. On the seventh competition day, they continued to seize gold medals, again winning 4 golds in a single day, bringing the total to 25. They have consistently earned gold medals for 7 consecutive days, currently leading Germany by a distance of 10 golds. This advantage is significant, making it highly likely to secure the top spot in the final medal tally; the focus now is whether they can also achieve the top position in the overall medal standings!

On the seventh competition day, China won a gold medal in billiards, with Xiao Guodong triumphing under pressure, defeating his opponent 2-1 to claim victory on home soil. It's worth noting that Xiao Guodong gave up the lucrative prize money from the Saudi Masters for this competition, showcasing his immense dedication. His ultimate victory was indeed remarkable!

After a strong gold-winning performance in the first five competition days, the German team saw their momentum drop drastically in the sixth and seventh days, finishing with 0 golds over two days. Their total remains at 15 golds. Although they still hold second place, their position is no longer secure, with only a 1 gold advantage over third-place Ukraine, which is quite concerning. It's fair to say that the German team's strength seems to be waning!

Ukraine has experienced a significant surge, greatly improving their gold-winning ability over the past few competition days. With 14 golds after 7 competition days, they not only maintain their third place but also lead fourth-place Italy by 3 golds, and they are just 1 gold behind second-place Germany, indicating a potential challenge for the second position!

Currently, five delegations have each won 10 gold medals. In the medal standings, Italy remains the country with the most medals, followed by Germany in second and China in third. With only a few competition days left in the World University Games, we hope more delegations can secure gold medals. Let's go!
