The Rio Olympics game has witnessed its day 6, and the “Giant of Africa” is conspicuously missing on the medal table while names of more serious-minded nations have taken the list, with the United States of America being on top of the table with a total of 38 gold medals as at press time.

South Africa is the only African country that have at least clinched a medal, while we keep hoping that Nigeria will join soon. Below is the list of nations on the medal table.
