The race for the top spot in the gold medal table is coming down to the final day of the Olympics.

After leading for several days, China is now tied with the United States. Each has 38 golds, and there are mere hours to go until the closing ceremony.

The US will have three more opportunities to add to its haul. The American women’s volleyball team is playing Brazil in the gold medal match, while boxers Keyshawn Davis and Richard Torrez Jr. will fight in the gold medal bouts in the men’s lightweight and mens’ super heavyweight divisions, respectively.

China has one more shot at a gold medal, when boxer Li Qian takes on Great Britain’s Lauren Price in the championship bout for women’s middleweight.
