China delivers best Games since Beijing 2008

China, which shared the most gold medals with the United States and narrowly missed out on first place in the silver medal rankings, put on their finest showing at a Summer Olympics since the Games held on home territory in 2008.

The 40 golds set a record for the Games outside of China and were won in spite of extreme strain and increased scrutiny brought on by a doping scandal involving some of the team's swimmers.
