Final medal table
United States has always been the hegemon of the medal table, and Russia banned in the last two Olympic Games, but the number of gold medals in United States could not open up the gap with China, and the Tokyo Olympics was only 1 gold ahead, and this year's Paris Olympics was only "equal" to China at the last moment. Most of the 40 gold medals in United States came from track and field and swimming, of which 14 gold medals were won in track and field, 8 gold medals were won in swimming, 3 gold medals were won in the three major ball events, the men's and women's basketball teams successfully defended their titles, the women's football team regained the gold medal, and the women's volleyball team lost to Italy won the silver medal.
United States women's basketball team won the 40th gold in United States
Regardless of whether the number of gold medals won by the United States team has decreased, 126 medals is still enough to prove the strength of United States sports, and the next Olympic Games will be held at United States home stadium, and it is believed that they will reap another wave of medals. China's 40 gold, 27 silver and 24 bronze results are good enough, and they are the best results in history except for local battles. China's dominant events are still diving, shooting, table tennis, weightlifting, and of course, there are many new breakthroughs, Zheng Qinwen won the historic championship in women's tennis singles, the first person in Asia; Pan Zhanle won the gold medal in the men's 100m freestyle. Synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics also have gold medals, which are the first in history.
Zheng Qinwen made history
Of course, the Chinese army still has shortcomings, gymnastics only won a total of 2 gold medals, especially the men's team made a mistake to give up the gold medal, although badminton 4 events have entered the finals, but the men's singles strength is insufficient. The three balls are still the biggest shortcoming, the women's volleyball team that came to Paris failed to advance to the semifinals, the women's basketball team did not qualify from the group, and the Chinese team still needs to continue to work hard to grow.
Marchand of France won 4 gold medals alone
Japan finished third as the host last time, and this year they rose to 20 gold medals with eight gold medals in wrestling, overtaking France and Australia to once again enter the top three. The host France only ranked 5th with 16 gold, 26 silver, 22 bronze and 64 medals, and their silver medals and total medals were second only to United States and China, and in the three major events, France's men's volleyball team won the championship, and the men's and women's basketball and men's soccer teams reached the final and won the silver medal.
