The Paris Olympics 2024 are just hours away from getting started, and the excitement is palpable. Team USA, which is sending a large contingent of 592 athletes to the Paris Olympics, is predicted to top the medal tally once again by Nielson’s Gracenote. The nation is expected to return with 112 medals.
Team USA is one of the most decorated and successful teams at the Olympic Games. They have amassed 2959 medals from the combined Summer and Winter Olympics while the next best is Russia, who have won 1204 medals. Of the 2959 medals for team USA, 1183 are gold medals.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the USA returned with 113 medals and topped the medal tally. They had won medals in a record 29 sports but are only expected to win medals in 28 sports at the 2024 Paris Olympics 2024. For the overall medal tally, Gracenote predicts the USA will top the charts with 112 medals, one less than their tally from 2021, with 39 of them being gold, 32 being silver, and 42 being bronze.
