The national games ended last night, concluding with Guangdong beating the PLA team for the men's basketball title (105-93). The top 10 teams in the games were:1. Shandong – 63 gold, 150 overall
2. People's Liberation Army – 49 gold, 126 overall
*3. Jiangsu Province – 48.5 gold, 121.5 overall
4. Liaoning Province – 46 gold, 126 overall
5. Guangdong Province – 43 gold, 127 overall
6. Shanghai – 40 gold, 119.5 overall
7. Beijing – 30 gold, 79 overall
8. Heilongjiang Province – 23.5 gold, 65 overall
9. Tianjin – 23 gold, 52.5 overall
10. Fujian Province – 19 gold, 51 overall
Despite her four golds in tennis, the games' leading medal winner, Peng Shuai, couldn't lift her home province of Sichuan into the top 10. They came in 13th, with 13.5 golds and 60 overall medals.
* The games' official site (here, in Chinese) gives the same medal counts as above for the PLA and Jiangsu, but lists them as tied for second place, with Liaoning in 3rd. Sometimes the Chinese are just nice like that.
