TOKYO: The United States is once again expected to top the Games medal table but US officials were reluctant to give a number, saying Covid-19 has left the medal picture foggy.

While the United States Olympic Paralympic Committee (USOPC) were 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.
