Who has the most Olympic gold medals and will they be adding to their tally during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Let’s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a grand (and somewhat rainy) opening ceremony, the Paris 2024 Olympics are officially underway. There are more than 200 countries competing in this year\u2019s celebration, each athlete representing the absolute pinnacle of sporting success in their country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, of the thousands of world-class athletes competing, only the very best can win an Olympic gold medal and claim their rightful place on the coveted podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Olympic Games instill a sense of national pride like no other event can. So, we\u2019re here to answer the one question on everybody\u2019s mind: which country will win the highest number of Olympic medals at the Olympics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a forecast that\u2019s surprising to nobody, the USA is predicted to bring home the highest number of Olympic medals for the fourth consecutive year. The US continuously performs well across the table, including in athletics, swimming, gymnastics, diving, basketball, tennis, wrestling, and shooting. This is largely due to the enormous pool of athletes in its 50 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Phelps is the athlete with the most Olympic gold medals. The US swimmer holds the world record for winning Olympic gold medals with huge tally of 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Team USA\u2019s star-studded lineup features not one but two (at least) strong contenders in many of its sports. Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee (gymnastics), LeBron James<\/a> and Steph Curry<\/a> (basketball), Sha\u2019Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles (100m), Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel (swimming), and Caitlin Simmers and Carissa Moore (surfing) are some of the top US athletes to watch in the 2024 Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The USA is also a firm favorite among bettors, with sportsbooks offering specials like Noah Lyle<\/a>s to win gold and set a new Olympic record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In second place behind the US, China is forecast to win the most gold medals at the Olympics this year. China is the leading country for the number of table tennis, badminton, and trampoline gymnastics medals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the highest number of total medals per sport comes from diving (81 total, 47 golds), artistic gymnastics (69 total, 29 golds), and shooting (67 total, 26 golds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n China\u2019s female athletes are forecast to dominate in their sports, with Wu Yanni (100m hurdles), Sun Yingsha<\/a> (table tennis), Qun Hongchan (diving), Huang Yuting (shooting), and Zheng Qinwen (tennis) all highly anticipated to go for the gold. Shi Zhiyong<\/a> (weightlifting) and Shi Yuqi (badminton) are also expected to shine on the Olympic stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only are China\u2019s individual athletes looking to secure a place on the podium, but its team events are anticipated to score well, too. The men\u2019s and women\u2019s synchronized diving teams – Lian Junjie & Yang Hao and Chen Yiwen & Chang Yani, respectively – and the shooting duo Huang Yuting & Sheng Lihao are forecast to take the gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proud host of this year\u2019s Olympic games, France is predicted to perform well on home turf. So well, in fact, that many sportsbooks are predicting a third-place win for the highest number of gold medals and sixth place for the overall number of medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChina: Number of Olympic<\/strong> Gold Medals: 263<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
