United States conquers the Paris 2024 Olympic medal
The United States conquers the Paris 2024 Olympic medal tally after a final day that required a medal in women’s basketball to catch up with China.
With 40 gold medals, the United States conquers the Paris 2024 Olympic medal tally; although it had the same number as the Chinese, it won more silver and bronze medals.
Katie Ledecky, Noah Lyles, LeBron James, Simone Biles, among other names have contributed to the great world power, the United States of America, winning the medal table of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
But it could not have happened without the last gold medal in the final game of women’s basketball that closed the competition before the closing ceremony in which the baton will be handed over to Los Angeles.
The women’s Dream Team, as did the men’s team, beat France in Paris (66-67) and prolonged its hegemony.
They have won eight gold medals in a row, the most ever, and their legend, Diana Taurasi, has now won six in a row.
