Olympics-Gymnastics-U.S. women top Russians, China in medal chances
Although the start of the women’s artistic gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics was disappointing for the usually dominant U.S. team, the Americans still have the most medal opportunities of any country. But the U.S. women’s qualifying efforts earned them 11 medal attempts at the Tokyo Games, the maximum possible. ROC could earn at most 10 medals since they qualified only one gymnast to the balance beam finals, and China have the next highest medal chances at seven.
