At this point in the Paris 2024 Olympics, the competition seems to be a two-horse race between the USA and China as the games head into their final days. Rounding out the top ten are Australia, France, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany.

On August 6, both the Philippines and Thailand earned an additional bronze medal in boxing, boosting their overall achievements at Paris 2024. So far, 76 nations have won medals at the 2024 Olympics, with 48 of those countries having won gold.
