PARIS — Everywhere you looked at the 2024 Paris Games, Americans dominated.
On the final day of the Games, China is leading Team USA in the medal table, with 39 golds to America’s 38.
Its two golds here included the 4x100-meter medley, the first time in Olympic history that anyone had beaten the U.S.
Though Russia, a longtime dominant force in the sport, was excluded from these Games, China still achieved a score that far outstripped any competitors.
China has also been quick to embrace some of the newer Olympic sports including sport climbing, skateboarding, surfing and breaking.
