With the 2024 Olympics coming to an end this past weekend, the time to take stock has arrived. France moved into the top five with its medal record, ahead of one of its archrivals, Great Britain. Only the United States, China, Japan and Australia lead the tricolor. Note that the number one African country, Kenya, is ranked 17th.
France won 64 medals for a total of 154 medals
- In 329 events over 16 days, 91 delegations competed. The United States and China won 40 gold medals. However, the United States leads in the number of silver medals (44 to 27). If all medals are counted, the US team ranks first with 126 medals, while the Chinese team ranks first with 91 medals.
- As for the French team, it won 16 gold medals, one more than the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and won a total of 64 medals (16 gold medals, 26 silver medals and 22 bronze medals), 21 more than the Beijing Olympics.
Surprise: Uzbekistan
- 13th ahead of Spain in the medal table and we find… Uzbekistan! It must be said that this country is not used to being on the podium, but in Paris it won 13 medals, including 8 gold medals. A total of 5 gold medals were won in boxing, judo, wrestling and taekwondo.
- The Refugees, participating in their third Olympic Games, won a gold medal with boxer (-75kg) Cindy Ngamba from Cameroon. It consists of 37 Paris athletes.
- It also needs to be emphasized that Russia and Belarus are absent from this Olympic Games. Remember, the IOC disqualified them because of the war in Ukraine. Even if some Russian and Belarusian athletes competed in Paris under the name of neutrality, the medals they won (Ivan Litvinovich and Vialetta Barzilovskaya in trampolining) were not appear in the table.
