    Question

    The 2020 Olympic games is a sporting competition which takes place every four years. It involves a range of different events across multiple sports.

    At the Olympic Games, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each event. (In some events two Bronze medals are awarded mostly combat sports).

    The medal table is calculated by taking the total number of medals won by each participating country and ordering by:

    1. Number of Gold Medals
    2. (Where 1 is tied) Number of Silver Medals
    3. (Where 2 is tied) Number of Bronze Medals

    The US team is one of the most successful teams in recent years, topping the medal table in 2016, 2012, 2004, 2000. Will they repeat that in 2021?

    Will USA top the Medal Table at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021?

    This question will resolve positively if the United States Olympic Team are the (unique) highest ranked team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. It will resolve ambiguously if the Tokyo Olympics do not take place. It will resolve negatively if any team achieves a higher or equal ranking to the US team.
