2024 Summer Olympics Medal Count: Live Updates on Paris Games
The 2024 Paris Olympics are underway and continue until the closing ceremony Sunday, August 11.
While there are an overwhelming number of sports and athletes to follow, a sweeping glance at the Games brings us back to the core of it all: medals.
For almost all events, gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded to the winner, runner-up and the second runner-up, respectively. Two bronze medals are awards in boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling. Medals have been awarded since 1896, and the 1904 Games in St. Louis were the first Games to feature the now-colloquial gold, silver, bronze hierarchy.
One note: Team sports do not multiply the count of total medals. Those still count as just one medal.
