Paris Olympics medal count: Track Team USA's wins so far

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.

The U.S., Japan and China and the host country, France, were leading the medal count by Tuesday as the Paris Games were only just beginning.

Team France and Team USA started this year's competition in a neck-and-neck battle for most medals overall, the country putting on the Games vs. the 2028 host. The U.S. edged ahead to lead the pack Monday after a strong showing in skateboarding, swimming and men’s gymnastics.
