China has strengthened its position at the top of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026 medal table, reaching 130 medals after five days of competition. According to the latest standings, China has won 80 gold, 30 silver and 20 bronze medals.

Japan, the host nation, is second with 91 medals, including 20 golds, while the Republic of Korea occupies third place with 50 medals, including 10 golds.

China’s Gold Medal Surge

China's 80 gold medals represent a substantial lead in the gold-medal standings. The country has continued to collect titles across several disciplines, maintaining the strong medal-winning momentum seen in the opening days of the Games.

China's dominance is particularly evident in swimming and shooting, with athletes producing several record-setting performances during the competition. Reuters previously reported China's strong start in the swimming programme, including Asian Games-record performances by Yu Zidi.

Wushu Adds to China’s Medal Haul

Wushu has also contributed significantly to China's medal tally. The Chinese team has produced multiple gold-medal performances across the martial arts programme, adding to the country's rapidly growing collection of titles.

Record-Breaking Swimming Performances

China has also continued to excel in the pool. Wu Qingfeng claimed gold in the women's 50m freestyle after setting an Asian Games record, adding another highlight to China's swimming campaign. The official Asian Games coverage lists Wu among the gold-medal winners in the event.

With competition continuing through October 4, the medal standings remain subject to change as more events are completed.
