Paris. Thanks to the recent gold in women’s basketball, a tournament that ended this Sunday the fortnight of competitions in Paris 2024, the United States finished the Olympic Games as the leader of the medal table, tied with China at 40 golds.
Team USA, on the other hand, has more silver medals than China (44 to 27), and more medals in total, 126 to 91. Japan finished third, with 45 medals in total (20-12-13).
The United States and China maintained a battle until the very end. It began this Sunday on the 16th and final day of Paris 2024 with the Asian giant leading the medal table, with one more gold than the Americans (39-38).
Team USA was hoping to win two more titles on Sunday, in volleyball and women’s basketball, but Italy surprised by defeating the Tokyo 2020 volleyball champions.
China also added a final gold thanks to its weightlifter Li Wenwen and everything seemed decided in favor of the Asians, but Jennifer Valente won the title in the velodrome in the women’s omnium, so everything remained to be decided in the last final, women’s basketball.
And at the Arena Bercy, despite French resistance, the Americans won 67-66 to add an eighth consecutive gold and in the process give Team USA the victory in the medal table.
Mexico was ranked 65th, with five medals in total, three silver and two bronze.
To determine the order of the medal table, the number of gold medals is taken into account first, and then, to break the tie, the silver and bronze medals.
