Olympic medal count tracker: Will Team USA catch China in golds? See the leaderboard

The Olympic Games are in full swing from Paris!

For a full rundown of all the events each day, we have a full breakdown of everything airing, along with where and how to watch. Every Olympic event will be streaming live on Peacock.

When it comes to the medal count, the United States is the favorite to win the most medals. China is unlikely to overtake the U.S. in the overall medal haul, but has a chance to win more gold medals than the Americans — and has been maintaining a lead in golds for much of the first week.

So which country is leading in medals as of the ninth day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count.

Here is the full leaderboard, last updated Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. ET

The last Summer Olympics in which the United States did not top the gold medal table was in 2008 in Beijing. Countries always get a medal bump being the host nation, and France is expected to almost triple the number of gold medals it won in Tokyo.

Team USA Highlights: Day 10

SILVER BY A SLIVER

Team USA earned silver in the second ever Olympic triathlon mixed relay in a photo finish.

Seth Rider, Taylor Spivey, Morgan Pearson and Taylor Knibb gave the U.S. a second straight mixed relay silver medal after Team USA placed second in the inaugural event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Germany secured gold when Laura Lindemann pulled ahead of Knibb and Great Britain’s Beth Potter, the women’s triathlon bronze medalist, over the final sprint to the finish line. It is Germany’s first medal in the event after it placed sixth in Tokyo.

Knibb and Potter were neck and neck down the stretch, but Knibb crossed first in a photo finish for the silver medal.

BILES AND CHILES END ON A HIGH NOTE

It may not be how they drew it up, but both Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles will leave Paris on a high note, earning a medal in their final event.

Biles scored a 14.133 on floor exercise, with landing deductions for going out of bounds twice. Her score was the second-highest behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who had a 14.166.

Biles’ floor routine was stunning, at a difficulty level far above other competitors, but landing out of bounds twice cost her .6 points in penalties. She lost to Andrade by .033 points.

With the medal, Biles tied Czechoslovakia’s Vera Caslavska for second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history. The record is held by Larisa Latynina, who had 18 for the Soviet Union between 1956 and 1964.

Biles had been seeking an eighth gold medal, which would have placed her one shy of the record for most by a woman in Olympic history, which is held by Latynina and U.S. swimming star Katie Ledecky.

Chiles meanwhile will leave with a bronze, her first individual medal after gold in the 2024 team event and silver in the 2020 team event. The 23-year-old American was initially off the podium but that changed after a review.

When Chiles’ score in floor exercise final was first announced at 13.600, she appeared to finish in fifth place. But Team USA submitted an inquiry, arguing that one of her leap’s difficulty level should be graded a D instead of C — which means Chiles would get more points for successfully completing it.

The inquiry was approved and Chiles’ score rose to 13.766, just ahead of Barbosu’s 13.700.

LET’S DISCUSS DISCUS

Team USA’s Valarie Allman won gold in the women’s discus throw final on Monday.

She finished the event with a total result of 69.50. She was the defending Olympic champion in the event after also having won at the Tokyo Games.

China’s Bin Feng won silver with 67.51 while Croatia’s Sandra Elkasevic took home bronze (67.51).
