About This Dataset
2024 Summer Olympics Gold Medals by Country
Gold medals won at the Paris Summer Olympics in 2024. Medals are counted by national committee, and a team event counts as one medal however many athletes share it, so a country strong in team sports gains fewer medals than its number of medal-winning athletes suggests.
Analysis
The United States won 40 golds, 12.2% of the 329 awarded, level with China on 40 and placed first only on silvers. 63 of the 90 countries that won a medal won at least one gold. The 15 countries here took 238 golds, 72.3% of the total. The United States finished with 126 medals overall against 91 for China, so the two ranking methods do not agree at the top.
