The United States snatched top spot in the 2024 Olympic medal table as their women’s basketball team earned a thrilling victory over hosts France to win the final gold on offer in Paris.
The fearsome US team were in danger of one of the all-time Olympic upsets but won 67-66 to take gold for a record-breaking eighth Games in a row, meaning the US moved level with China’s tally of 40 golds in the medal table.
But with the American team having won 44 silvers to China’s 27 – they have also won 126 medals overall to China’s 91 – they top the medal table for the fourth time in a row.
