Paris Olympics / Andrew P. Scott-USA TODAY SportsMedal Table
< click Live updateThe 2024 Olympics, being held in Paris, France, are underway. The games stretch until the closing ceremonies on Sunday, August 11th.
While there are an overwhelming number of sports and athletes to follow along with, 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.
