US leads Paris Olympics 2024 medal count
The Paris Olympics 2024 ended on Sunday with a beautiful closing ceremony with the US winning the most medals, closely followed by China. NPR reported that the US won 126 medals, including 40 gold in Paris, while China won 91. The nations shared gold medals. Pakistan placed 62nd with only one medal, Arshad Nadeem’s javelin throw, while China became America’s biggest Summer Games adversary. Since it was its first gold in 40 years and first Olympic medal in 32 years, the country’s single medal in Paris was the most celebrated.
Pakistan won its last medal in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics when its hockey team won bronze. The 27-year-old’s 92.97-metre throw broke Andreas Thorkildsen’s 2008 Olympic record of 90.57 metres. Russia, a former Olympic powerhouse, had only 15 participants and a dismal medal total in Paris. US swimmers and runners won nearly half of its medals. Katie Ledecky and Torri Huske led the US swimming team to 28 medals, including eight golds. The US track team won 34 medals, including 14 gold.
Nearly half of the US 2024 Olympics medals came from these two disciplines. However, diving, shooting, table tennis, and wrestling won most gold medals for China. The country earned eight diving golds, five shooting, table tennis, and wrestling golds. As Summer Olympics host, France won 64 medals, including 16 gold. Australia won 53 medals, 18 of them gold. Cindy Djanjeu Ngamba of Cameroon won a boxing bronze medal for the International Olympic Committee’s refugee squad this year.
