The 2024 Summer Games in Paris will be notable for, among other things, being the first Olympics in which 50% of the competitors will be women.
There will be 329 medal events this Olympiad – 157 for men, 152 for women and 20 in which men and women will compete together. That will make for a total of roughly 1,000 gold, silver and bronze medals to be awarded. (Some events have multiple bronze medals.)
The United States has won the most medals by far since the modern-day Olympics first took place in 1896. Counting just the Summer Games, the USA has a grand total of 2,629.
