Superstar gymnast Simone Biles dominated during her debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics after shaking off an earlier injury, but it’s in the pool where Team USA is already piling up the hardware. TODAY’s Craig Melvin shares highlights from the early days of the Games.
As the world's greatest athletes compete for both individual glory and national pride at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, spectators at home will also wonder which country will have the honor of raking in the most medals. The United States, China, and host country France were all leading the medal count by Monday as the Paris Games were only just beginning. China won the competition's first gold in the 10-meter air rifle mixed team event on Saturday morning.
French Olympians showed their range through a variety of sports already by medaling in at least eight different athletic genres. Meanwhile, the U.S. started strong in the water with seven of its early medals coming from swimming competitions. The U.S. is likely looking for a repeat of its formidable presence at the 2020 Tokyo Games, where the country brought home 113 medals. That's the most of any country by a significant amount, with China's 89 medals coming up behind Team USA.
