Olympic medal count tracker: Where does Team USA stand heading into final week of the Games?

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 — and has been maintaining a lead in golds for much of the first week.

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

Here is the full leaderboard, last updated Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. ET

China tops Paralympics final medal table, Team USA places third

Team USA won 10 more medals Sunday, a day after they won 18 medals alone on Saturday.

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 9

FASTEST MAN ON EARTH

Two decades of futility is over. And once again, an American is the fastest man in the world.

Noah Lyles beat out Jamaica's Kishane Thompson in a thrilling photo finish to win the gold medal in the 100-meter dash -- the race that traditionally determines the fastest man in the world.

From 1984 to 2004, this race was often owned by Americans - Carl Lewis won it twice, and Maurice Greene and Justin Gatlin each won it once. But since then, America had failed to reach the top of podium.

This time, America wouldn't be denied.

"America," Lyles yelled into a TV camera after the race, "I told you!"

Lyles' American teammate Fred Kerley, who won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, will go home with the bronze with a time of 9.81, a personal best.

SWIMMING ENDS WITH A SPLASH

Bobby Finke won USA's seventh swimming gold medal in the 1500m, setting a world record in the process. The 24-year-old Floridian broke a world record in the men's 1,500m freestyle in a time of 14:30.67 on Sunday to win a second-consecutive gold medal.

Finke, who won gold in the event at Tokyo in 14:39.65, topped the previous mark of 14:31.02 set in 2012 by China's Sun Yang.

Then in the women's 4x100m medley relay final, Team USA dominated for gold and set the world record. The squad — Torri Huske, Gretchen Walsh, Regan Smith and Lilly King — recorded a remarkable time of 3:49.63. 

In the final men's swimming event in the Paris Olympics, Caeleb Dressel helped lead Team USA to a second-place finish in the 4x100 medley relay, his first-ever Olympic medal that was not gold. Dressel, Ryan Murphy, Hunter Armstrong and New Jersey's Nic Fink combined for a time of 3:28.01.

Entering the Olympics, the U.S. versus Australia was a big storyline for a battle of the pool. The two countries have developed a fierce rivalry in recent years, emerging as the two dominant forces in international swimming.

At the end of the nine-day swim meet, the United States won eight gold, 13 silver and seven bronze. Australia finished with seven gold, eight silver and three bronze.

STUNNING CYCLING GOLD

Kristen Faulkner gave the U.S. its first gold medal in the Olympic women's road race in 40 years with a remarkable run on Sunday.

The Alaska native crossed the finish line in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower with a time of 3:59:23, nearly a full minute ahead of the rest of the field.

Faulkner only qualified for the road race after fellow American Taylor Knibb gave up her spot in the event last month.
