2024 Paris Olympics

Olympic medal count tracker: US-China tied for lead in golds, as new country joins top 3

The United States is expected to be at the top of the medal count at the Paris Olympics, but will it win the most gold medals?

NBC Universal, Inc.

The 27-year-old American athlete secured his second career gold medal by winning the 400-meter hurdles at the Paris Olympics on Friday.

The Olympic Games are winding down in Paris, but there's still plenty of action to catch!

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 was the favorite to win the most medals going into the Games. It showed why right from the start, leading the medal count from early on.

China does still have a chance to win more gold medals than the Americans, however. China had maintained a lead in golds for much of the first week, though the U.S. caught up with them early in the second week of games and temporarily held a lead. But any lead was gone going into the final weekend of events.

So which country is leading in medals as of the 134h day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count. (And keep scrolling to see some of the best moments for Team USA from Friday).

Here is the full leaderboard, last updated Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. ET

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 14

SHA'CARRI SHINES AGAIN

A star-studded U.S. quartet of Sha'Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha "Teetee" Terry sprinted to gold in the women's 4x100m relay.

Amid rainy conditions at the Stade de France venue, the Americans posted a time of 41.78 seconds to win their first gold since the 2016 Rio Games, beating out second-place Great Britain (41.85).

Terry, who ran second, had the best leg among the Americans at 9.98, followed by the anchor in Richardson, who took a viral glance at the competition before crossing the finish line in 10.09.

WEIGHTLIFTING HISTORY

Olivia Reeves became the first American weightlifter in 24 years to win an Olympic title.

In the women's 71kg (156 pounds) final, Reeves set an Olympic record with a snatch of 117kg. She then recorded a clean and jerk of 145kg to earn a total score of 262kg for her first Olympic medal, topping second-place Mari Leivis Sánchez of Colombia (257kg).

WOMEN CRUISE INTO FINALS

The U.S. women's basketball team moved to the brink of an eighth straight Olympic title by taking down Australia 85-64 in the semifinals.

Reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart led four Americans who scored in double figures with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists. Fellow two-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson also stuffed the stat sheet with 10 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals.

Just like the U.S. men's team, the women's squad will face host France in the gold medal game, which is scheduled for Sunday. France has never won Olympic gold in men's or women's basketball.

Team USA’s A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart shared their enthusiasm for the women’s basketball final at the Paris Games, as they look for their eighth straight Olympic gold medal.
