2024 Paris Olympics medal count: A tracker for the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals that the USA and other nations have earned
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have begun, with action
starting early on Saturday morning. The United States has already made it to
the podium in a number of aquatic competitions, taking home two silver medals
in synchronized diving and the delegation's first gold in the men's 4x100m
freestyle relay. In the women's 400-meter freestyle, decorated swimmer Katie
Ledecky won her 11th Olympic medal, although Australian Ariarne Titmus took
first place. Australia and Team USA are currently tied for the most medals won
at the Olympics, ensuring that the next two weeks will be filled with an
amazing rivalry.
With the most Olympic medals ever won in the Summer Games, the United States came into these games leading the field. As of Saturday, 1,062 of the 2,634 medals won by Americans have been gold. When it comes to the total number of medals won at the Summer Olympics, the United States has actually finished top 18 times.
Second place goes to the former Soviet Union
with 1,010 total medals, followed by Great Britain in third place with 918, and
France, the host nation for 2024, in fourth place with 755. At the end of the
Summer Olympics, every country has placed first in the medal count once. This
year, the French are expecting to surpass the Americans and close the gap with
their European neighbors by putting on a historic performance over the next two
weeks.
With 83 gold medals earned in 1984, one of the host nations
while the Soviet Union led a boycott of the Los Angeles Games, the United
States now owns the record for the most gold medals won in a single games. It's
unlikely that such high totals will be reached in 2024. America's only goal in
Paris is to replicate its triumph from the Tokyo Games three years prior, when
it won 39 gold, 41 silver, and 33 bronze medals.

below. It will be updated every time something happens until the Summer
Olympics end on August 11.
