While a couple events may still be ongoing on the sixth full days of events in the 2012 Olympics in London, all the medals for Thursday, August 2, 2012 have been handed out. With the medals won today, there is a new overall leader as the United States has broken free of China, and now sits atop the medal count leader board with 37 overall. China isn't far behind with 34 overall, but both countries are tied for gold medals with 18.
One of the biggest events of the day was topped by 22-year-old Kayla Harrison winning a gold medal for the United States in women's judo. Not only was the first gold medal in the event for American women, but for the United States at all. Harrison had a hard-fought final match, but ended up defeating Great Britain's Gemma Gibbons 2-0.
