NPR is in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics. For more of our coverage from the games head to our latest updates.

The Paris Olympics are in full swing with nearly 7,000 athletes from 206 delegations vying for bronze, silver, and of course, gold.

As of Sunday, Team USA has won 68 medals and remains atop the podium for the most number of medals. Other teams to reach double-digits in medals are host nation France with 43; China, 44; Great Britain, 37; Australia, 28; Japan, 23; South Korea, 24; Italy, 20; Canada, 16; the Netherlands, 15; Germany, 12; and Brazil, 10.

While the U.S. may have the most total medals so far, the rankings for gold medals are a different story.

China leads the way with 19. The United States has 17. France and Australia each have 12, and Great Britain has 10.

Now, no nation officially "wins" the Olympics, but earning the most medals or gold medals remains a symbol of victory for participating countries. On Tuesday, the United States became the first country to surpass the 3,000 Olympic medal barrier. This record tally includes both Summer and Winter Games.
