Olympic medal count tracker: See the leaderboard as Team USA racks up more golds

The Olympic Games are in full swing from Paris!

For a full rundown of all the events each day, we have a full breakdown of everything airing, along with where and how to watch. Every Olympic event will be streaming live on Peacock.

When it comes to the medal count, the United States is the favorite to win the most medals. China is unlikely to overtake the U.S. in the overall medal haul, but has a chance to win more gold medals than the Americans. China had maintained a lead in golds for much of the first week, but the U.S. has caught up with them early.

So which country is leading in medals as of the 11th day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count.

Here is the full leaderboard, last updated Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. ET

The U.S. is actually ahead of its pace from the Tokyo Olympics, where they had earned 73 medals through 11 days of competition.

Of the 86 total medals won by Team USA thus far, 48 have been by women and 32 have been by men. The U.S. has also earned five medals in mixed competitions, and one open medal.

Here's a breakdown of what events Team USA has won medals in and the athletes involved:

The last Summer Olympics in which the United States did not top the gold medal table was in 2008 in Beijing. Countries always get a medal bump being the host nation, and France is expected to almost triple the number of gold medals it won in Tokyo.

Team USA Highlights: Day 11

THE MOST EPIC RACE FINISH EVER?

In a remarkable performance, Team USA’s Cole Hocker won the gold medal and set a new Olympic record with a time of 3:27.65 in the men’s 1500-meter race at the Stade de France.

Hocker stormed past reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway and world champion Josh Kerr of Great Britain in the race's final 100 meters to secure the upset victory at Stade de France on Tuesday.

Ingebrigtsen and Kerr were viewed as the race's top favorites, but Hocker simply wouldn't be denied as he rallied to the top of the podium with an Olympic-record time of 3:27.65.

And one more cool thing about this race: On top of Hocker's wild win, teammate Yared Nuguse took the bronze (finishing just a hundredth of a second shy of the silver). It's the first time the U.S. has had 2 medalists in the 1500m in 112 years.

GABBY'S GOLDEN

If it wasn't official before, it sure is now: Gabby Thomas is the world's fastest epidemiologist.

Thomas won a long-awaited gold in the women's 200m, besting 100m champion Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia. Team USA's Brittany Brown won bronze.

The Harvard-educated runner sprinted to Olympic gold in the women's 200m final with a time of 21.82. She looked shocked as she crossed the finish line first, 0.80 seconds before silver medalist Alfred.

Thomas took home the bronze medal in the same event at the Tokyo Olympics.

ONE STEP CLOSER FOR MEN'S BASKETBALL, WOMEN'S SOCCER

The United States women's soccer team will play for a gold medal.

It took extra time once again in the semifinal against Germany, but Team USA pulled ahead on a goal by Sophia Smith in the 95th minute to seal the 1-0 victory.

The U.S. will face Brazil in the final on Saturday.

The U.S. men's basketball team is two wins away from yet another gold medal.

Team USA took another step toward an Olympic five-peat with a blowout quarterfinal victory over Brazil on Tuesday at the 2024 Paris Games.

Devin Booker (18 points), Anthony Edwards (17) and Joel Embiid (14) led six Americans who scored in double figures as Team USA rolled to a 122-87 win at Bercy Arena.

The Americans, who improved to a perfect 4-0 in Paris, will next have to go through arguably the world's best basketball player in order to reach the gold medal game. Nikola Jokic powered Serbia to a thrilling comeback victory over Australia in the Olympic quarterfinals on Tuesday.
