Is the United States hoping to win a lot of medals? You bet, says USOPC chief

The United States is once again expected to top the Summer Games medal table at the Tokyo Olympics but U.S. officials were reluctant to give a number on Friday, saying COVID-19 has left the medal picture foggy. While the United States Olympic Paralympic Committee (USOPC) was loath to make a prediction, data analysts Gracenote were less hesitant, venturing that the United States will top the standings with 96 medals in total. This would mark a significant drop from the 2016 Rio Olympics where the United States led the way with 121 medals, including a Games high of 46 golds, but still well ahead of China, which Gracenote has pegged will sweep 66 medals in Tokyo.
