PARIS (KXAN) — More than 10,000 athletes from across the world are competing in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
With 329 medal events in total, KXAN is keeping track of how many medals each participating team has won.
The convention used by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is to sort by the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. This means the country that wins the most medals overall may not necessarily be at the top of the table.
The first gold medal of the 2024 Olympic Games was won by Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao (People's Republic of China) in the 10m air rifle team event. Keum Ji-hyeon and Park Ha-jun (Republic of Korea) won silver, and Alexandra Le and Islam Satpayev (Kazakhstan) took bronze.
Here's a look at the number of medals won in each sport by the top 20 teams in the overall medal count. All other countries have been grouped together in the last column.
