While you were watching Michael Phelps, this woman was winning gold, too.
While the United States entered Sunday's action with the most overall medals (54), the host Chinese had struck much more gold than anyone -- 27 at that point for the home team (11 more than the U.S.).
And while we pretty much know where most of that American gold came from (ahem ... Michael Phelps), the Chinese have been quietly hauling their share of top prizes as well.
So where have those 27 golds come from? Many were earned in events we haven't seen much of in primetime on NBC. Here's the Chinese gold breakdown so far:
-- 8 in weightlifting
-- 4 in shooting
-- 4 in diving
-- 3 in gymnastics
-- 3 in judo
-- 2 in badminton
-- 1 in swimming
-- 1 in archery
-- 1 in fencing
As for the Americans, they entered Sunday with 16 gold medals.
-- 11 in swimming
-- 2 in shooting
-- 1 in gymnastics
-- 1 in fencing
-- 1 in cycling
