Every Medal Team USA Won at the 2024 Paris Olympics
As Team USA takes on the 2024 Paris Olympics, the American athletes have already made an impression at the summer games.
The 2024 Olympics kicked off on Friday, July 26, with an illustrious opening ceremony that took place entirely outdoors on the River Seine and featured performances from the likes of Celine Dion and Lady Gaga. Additionally, basketball star LeBron James and tennis champ Coco Gauff took on the task of Team USA’s flagbearers for the opening ceremony.
Gauff, 20, shared in a Wednesday, July 24, episode of Today that she had “no words” after she was bestowed with the honor.
“I didn’t want to cry in front of my teammates,” she added. “When Chris [Eubanks] told me, I was holding it in, but when I called my mom, I started crying because I think it’s even more special that so many incredible people — even now I get emotional thinking about it — but so many incredible people just think that I am worthy of this. It means a lot, truly.”
While France has already won the first gold medal of the Olympic games, Team USA quickly nabbed its first few medals at the start of the games on Saturday, July 27. Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon both took home silver for synchronized diving, marking the United States’ first medal in Paris. Cyclist Chloe Dygert won the bronze medal for the Individual Women’s Time Trial in road cycling. Meanwhile, swimmer Katie Ledecky surprised fans when she lost the gold in the Women’s 400-meter Freestyle, but she still walked away with the bronze medal.
Team USA has won over 100 medals at every Olympic Games since 2004 and is now looking to exceed its winnings from the Tokyo Olympics, where it took home a total of 113 medals: 39 gold, 41 silver and 33 bronze.
