Cementing supremacy

Team China consolidated its supremacy in weightlifting, table tennis and diving, missing out on only one gold in each sport in Tokyo.

The country's shooting squad brought home a record 11 medals, including four golds, while the gymnastics team, which finished without any golds at the 2016 Rio Games, bounced back to grab three titles in Tokyo.

Despite the retirement of legend Lin Dan, Chinese badminton players reached finals in all five disciplines, where they prevailed in women's singles and mixed doubles.
