Team USA has women to thank for more than half of its Olympic medals

August 12, 2024

American women dominated the summer Olympics, bringing home more than half of Team USA’s medals.

The U.S. won 126 total medals, the most of any country. Of those, women were responsible for a whopping 67.

Of that total, one medal remains in contention: Olympic officials have ordered gymnast Jordan Chiles to return her bronze medal from the floor exercise final after a score reversal, but the U.S. is appealing that ruling. npr
