United States

The U.S. continues to dominate the medal table with a substantial lead, now boasting 126 total medals, including 40 golds. This increase from the previous count reflects their continued excellence across a wide range of disciplines, particularly in track and field, swimming, and gymnastics. The U.S. has added seven more golds since August 9, solidifying its position at the top.

China

China remains in close contention with the U.S., also having secured 40 gold medals, but with a total of 91 medals. China’s strength in diving, table tennis, and weightlifting continues to contribute to their high medal count, though they have a narrower spread compared to the U.S.

Japan

Japan has moved up to third place with 20 gold medals and 45 total. Their rise is attributed to their strong performances in judo, wrestling, and other sports where they have a traditional advantage. Japan’s consistent success highlights their strategic focus on specific sports.

Australia

Australia remains strong in fourth place, with 18 golds and 53 total medals. The addition of three silver and two bronze medals since August 9 underscores their depth, particularly in swimming and athletics.

France

As the host nation, France has climbed to fifth place, now with 16 gold medals and 64 total medals. The French athletes have shown remarkable progress, especially in fencing and cycling, contributing to their medal tally.

Netherlands

The Netherlands has made a significant leap to sixth place with 15 gold medals. Their success is largely driven by cycling and speed skating, where they have historically excelled.

Great Britain

Despite increasing their total medal count to 65, Great Britain has slipped to seventh place, with 14 gold medals. Their broad success across rowing, athletics, and cycling continues, but the lack of new gold medals has affected their standing.

South Korea, Italy, and Germany

South Korea remains steady in eighth place with 13 golds, while Italy and Germany follow closely, each with 12 golds. Italy has slightly edged out Germany in the total medal count, 40 to 33, showcasing their competitiveness in fencing and shooting.

Overall, the final medal table highlights intense competition at the top, with the U.S. and China vying for supremacy. The host nation, France, has shown impressive gains, and traditional powerhouses like Japan, Australia, and Great Britain performed strongly.
