The Paris Olympics concluded with the United States securing the top position in the medal tally, amassing 126 medals, including 40 gold, 44 silver, and 42 bronze. The U.S. women's basketball team clinched the final gold, edging out France with a narrow 67-66 victory, which was crucial in tying China for gold medals, though the U.S. led in overall medals. China also achieved 40 golds but fell short in total with 91 medals, while Japan and Great Britain followed at a distance. Notably, U.S. dominance was particularly pronounced in swimming and track, where they earned 28 and 34 medals, respectively. The last time the U.S. did not top the medal standings was during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Overall, 90 countries won at least one medal during the Games.
