China and the United States celebrated their medal hauls on Sunday as Beijing Olympic competitions entered the second day. 
China and the US were both among the top three on the medal tally on Sunday, with China holding six golds and two silvers, and the US two golds, two silvers and four bronzes.
After two gold medals on the opening day in shooting and women's weightlifting, Guo Wenjun snatched the third when she finished on 492.3 points to claim the women's 10-meter air pistol title on Sunday.
Diving duo Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia defended their synchronized three-meter springboard crown, Xian Dongmei won women's 52kg judo gold and Long Qingquan pocketed another gold in men's 66kg weightlifting.
US swimming superstar Michael Phelps snatched the first of his projected eight golds with a sensational swim in the men's 400-meter individual medley final, and reset his own world record at four minutes 3.84 seconds.
Despite media speculations that China, which won the second largest number of golds after the US in Athens four years ago, would be an arch challenger, Chinese and Americans have patted each other on the shoulders and celebrated their wins.
