The event concluded on August 11 (local time), and by looking at the final medal standings, China tied first for gold medals and came second on the leaderboard, with Japan in third place and South Korea in eighth.

Netizens hit back at the fact that despite East Asian countries like China, Japan, and South Korea all finishing the Olympics in the top ten on the medal table, none of the athletes from these nations were included. In particular, many pointed out that the likes of Snoop Dog and Tom Cruise were on it, even though they weren’t even athletes who competed.
China, Japan, Korea all did very well in the Olympics, ranked within the top 10 for gold.
Yet you wouldn't know that from the poster. pic.twitter.com/W39SeONJ8h

At the Tokyo Olympics, we did our best for the athletes, even though we were prepared to incur losses and in the midst of an epidemic with no spectators. You have responded with racism for your own pride. Don't be so high and mighty when you can't even manage the event properly. https://t.co/L8iPO6rVlz

This is why I am always saying Euros, esp French, are way more racist than some in America. They don't even show a single Chinese (#1 tie gold) and Japanese (#3 gold) athlete. Disgusting. https://t.co/3V8nM1j4AW
