The Olympic Games
are coming to an end
.
Since that July 23, when this Tokyo 2020 began (the opening ceremony was two days later) a lot of water flowed under the bridge in this, one of the appointments of the five most particular rings of all time, without an audience present for the coronavirus pandemic.
And although many athletes are already at home, there are others
who play everything on the last day of competition.
It will be this afternoon, in Argentina.
when the first rays of sun shine in Japan and it gets underway on closing Sunday, which will culminate, of course, with the final party of the Games.
But first, what medals will be at stake?
Will the United States be able to hit the mark and
win the medal table
, which has it as a broad dominator by quantity (108) but in second place behind China, which has more golds (38 to 36)?
Which Argentines are left to compete?
