The Chinese lead the games in both gold medals (four) and total medals (six) after a Saturday that saw the country win two notable golds. The first came when swimmer Sun Yang became the first Chinese male swimmer to win gold, and the second came when 16-year-old Ye Shiwen set a world record in the women's 400 meter individual medley.
