Among the highlights of the many countries competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics is to see how many medals each nation can rack up, showing off its dominance to the rest of the world.

During the 2021 pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics, Team USA won 113 medals, including 39 golds, while China won 89 medals and 38 golds.

The last Summer Olympics in which the United States didn't have the most gold medals was the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, when the host nation won 48 golds to the USA’s 36.
