Here Are All the U.S. Medal Winners at the 2024 Paris Olympics
The United States boasted a galaxy of stars at the Summer Olympics. Here's who's earned a place on the podium.
The 2024 Paris Olympics have wrapped up a scintillating two-plus weeks of competition, providing some unforgettable moments along the way, from the spectacular Opening Ceremony punctuated by the first live performance from Celine Dion in more than four years, to the U.S. women's gymnastics team taking the team gold.
Boasting a galaxy of stars, including Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, LeBron James, Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, and so many more, Team USA put on a show in the the City of Light, accumulating 126 total medals, including 40 gold.

Here's a list of the U.S. Olympic medalists in Paris:
U.S. Men’s Basketball Team
Gold
The United States men’s basketball team came to Paris with just one goal in mind: win gold. They did just that, defeating host nation France in the final game, driven by a star performance from Steph Curry, who was competing in his first Olympics and now has a gold medal to complement the host of NBA championships and MVP awards in his trophy cabinet. The run to gold wasn’t without its moments of uncertainty, as the U.S. needed a thrilling comeback win against Serbia to make it to the gold medal game. But in the end, the roster of NBA legends including Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant took care of business and gave U.S. fans what they’ve come to expect: another Olympic gold medal.
U.S. Women’s Soccer Team
Gold
No one can say the U.S. women’s national team didn’t rise to the occasion in big moments during the Olympics tournament. There was Trinity Rodman’s wonder-strike in extra time against Japan in the quarterfinals that gave them a 1-0 win, and a Sophia Smith goal in the semis against Germany, also in extra time that also sealed a 1-0 win. Well, in the gold medal match against Brazil, it came down to one moment, one goal, this one from Mallory Swanson, who netted in the 57th minute to provide the United States the only cushion they’d need. It was an extraordinary performance for a team that has remade itself under new coach Emma Hayes, injecting new talent into a system that, for all its dominance over the last two decades, had begun to get stale. The gold is the U.S. women’s fifth and the first since 2012.
U.S. Women's Basketball Team
Gold
A day after the U.S. men won gold over France, the American women followed suit, coming back from a 10-point third quarter deficit to defeat the host nation 67-66 in a tense game. Team USA was led by A’ja Wilson, who led all scorers with 21 points, and Kahleah Copper, who had 12 big points off the bench, including 10 in the fourth quarter. France’s Gabby Williams put up a heroic effort, scoring 19 and hitting a last-second shot that nearly tied it, if not for the fact that in the scramble to get it off, her foot went over the three-point line. This is the eighth consecutive gold medal for the U.S. women’s basketball team, and gave the United States its 40th gold of the Paris Games, pulling them level with China in the race for gold. The U.S. easily won the overall medal count, with 126 (China had 91 total medals, the second-highest mark.)
Jennifer Valente
Cycling, Women’s Omnium
Gold
Jennifer Valente successfully defended her gold medal in the women’s omnium, defeating Poland’s Daria Pikulik (silver) and New Zealand’s Ally Wollaston (bronze). Valente, who also has a gold medal as part of the women’s team pursuit squad, won the omnium at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Valente, 29, is competing in her third Olympics and has five medals in her career.
Shamier Little, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, Alexis Holmes
Track & Field, Women’s 4x400m Relay
Gold
Team USA simply dominated the women’s 4x400m relay, blowing away the second-place Netherlands by four full seconds. Shamier Little got the U.S. to a winning start in the first leg, then Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone gave them what was essentially an insurmountable lead with her second leg. Gabby Thomas extended it further and Alexis Holmes ran the anchor to seal the gold medal performance, which at 3:15.27 was an American record. The Netherlands took silver while Great Britain edged out Ireland for bronze.
Christopher Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon, Rai Benjamin
Track & Field, Men’s 4x400m Relay
Gold
Team USA may have had a disappointing men’s 4x100m relay, but they were solid gold in the men’s 4x400m. Christophe Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon, and Rai Benjamin combined for another American track and field gold, beating out Botswana (silver) and Great Britain (bronze).
Masai Russell
Track & Field, Women’s 100m Hurdles
Gold
Masai Russell’s Olympic debut couldn’t have been scripted better. The 24-year-old Maryland native won gold in the women’s 100m hurdles, taking home her first career Olympic medal. It was a nailbiter, however, as Russell edged out France’s Cyrena Samba-Mayela (silver) by just a hundredth of a second. Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn took bronze.
Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, Gabby Thomas, Sha’Carri Richardson
Track & Field, Women’s 4x100 Relay
Gold
Sha’Carri Richardson will return home from Paris with a gold medal after all. The American sprinter was favored to win the women’s 100m, but she placed second in that race behind Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred. But in the women’s 4x100m relay, she ran the anchor leg that gave the American’s gold, joining teammates Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, and Gabby Thomas atop the podium. Richardson had plenty of work to do, as the U.S. was in third position entering the final leg. But Richardson blew past Great Britain’s Daryll Neita (silver) and German’s Rebekka Haase (bronze) to seal victory for Team USA.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone
Track & Field, Women’s 400m Hurdles
Gold
It simply couldn’t have gone better for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. The American track star not only successfully defended her gold medal in the women’s 400m hurdle, she annihilated the world record in the process (beating her own). Here’s an eye-popping stat, as noted by Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Eisenberg: McLaughlin-Levrone’s blazingly fast time of 50.37 seconds was better than 16 of the 24 women running in the 400m open semifinals – a race where you don’t have to also, you know, jump over things. Fellow American Anna Cockrell took silver and defending world champion Femke Bol of the Netherlands took bronze.
Tara Davis-Woodhall
Track & Field, Women’s Long Jump
Gold
When she first competed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which were held in 2021), Tara Davis-Woodhall placed sixth in the women’s long jump. What a difference three years makes. Davis-Woodhall, 25, is now an Olympic champion, winning gold in Paris with a 7.10-meter jump, easily defeating the field to seal the top podium spot. After her win, she ran to her husband, Paralympian Hunter Woodhall and shared an emotional embrace. Germany’s Malaika Mihambo won silver and fellow American Jasmine Moore took bronze.
Olivia Reeves
Weightlifting, Women's 71kg/156lbs
Gold
Olivia Reeves won the United States’ first gold medal in weightlifting in 24 years. The 21-year-old from Tennessee stood apart from the field in the women’s 71kg/156lbs division, lifting a total of 262kg (or roughly 578 pounds) which was five kilograms better than silver medalist Mari Leivis Sanchez of Colombia. Ecuador’s Angie Paola Palacios Dajomes took bronze.
Rai Benjamin
Track & Field, Men’s 400m Hurdles
Gold
Rai Benjamin came oh-so-close to Olympic gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games, finishing with silver in the men’s 400m hurdles. In Paris, he got the gold he came for. The 27-year-old Mount Vernon, NY native beat Norway’s Karsten Warholm (who bested him in Tokyo and won silver in Paris) and Brazil’s Alison dos Santos (bronze).
Grant Holloway
Track & Field, Men’s 110m Hurdles
Gold
Grant Holloway has his Olympic gold medal. The three-time world champion in the 110m hurdles won silver in this event at the 2020 Tokyo Games, but he was on top of his sport in Paris, winning with a time of 12.99 seconds. Fellow American Daniel Roberts won silver and Jamaica’s Rasheed Broadbell took bronze.
Gabby Thomas
Track & Field, Women’s 200m
Gold
The women’s 200m was billed as a showdown between American Gabby Thomas and Saint Lucia’s Julian Alfred, who won gold in the 100m. But on the day, it was Thomas and no one else. The 27-year-old Atlanta native cruised to the gold medal with a time of 21.83 seconds, comfortably ahead of Alfred’s 22.08 seconds. Thomas’ U.S. teammate Brittany Brown took bronze. For Thomas, it was her third Olympic medal and first gold. She won silver in the 4x100 relay and bronze in the women’s 200m at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Noah Lyles
Track & Field, Men’s 100m
Gold
Entering the men's 100m in Paris, Noah Lyles' main competition for gold appeared to be Kishane Thompson from Jamaica. The showdown didn't disappoint, with Thompson getting off to a great start in the race, but Lyles finishing strong to take home the gold. In the race's immediate aftermath, it wasn't clear who won, so officials had to consult the high-speed camera shots. Lyles just barely edged out Thompson, with fellow American Fred Kerley finishing in third. An overjoyed Lyles ripped off his name tag, thrusting it up in the air as he ran victoriously around the track before finding his family and sharing an emotional moment with them.
Simone Biles
Gymnastics, Women’s All-Around Final
Gold
Simone Biles’ Paris Olympics experience could hardly be better after she clinched gold in the women’s gymnastics all-around final, two day after celebrating the team goal with her American compatriots. For Biles, it was her sixth gold medal, the most by any American gymnast in history (man or woman). Her victory also marked the sixth straight Olympic women’s all-around won by Team USA. Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade earned silver and Biles’ fellow American Suni Lee won bronze.
Simone Biles
Gymnastics, Women's Vault
Gold
Simone Biles' 2024 Paris Olympics just keep getting better. The U.S. gymnastics G.O.A.T. added another gold medal to her collection, soaring to victory in the women's vault. That follows her team gold, and individual all-around gold, giving her seven career Olympic golds and 10 medals overall. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade took silver and U.S. teammate Jade Carey took bronze.
Katie Ledecky
Swimming, Women’s 800m Freestyle
Gold
Katie Ledecky just can’t stop making history. The greatest female swimmer of all time won gold in the women’s 800m freestyle, marking the fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal in that event. She’s the only woman swimmer in Olympic history who’s won the same event in four straight Games. This gold was Ledecky’s fourth medal of this Olympics and 14th in her career (nine gold). Australia’s Ariarne Titmus finished with the silver and Ledecky’s U.S. teammate Paige Madden grabbed the bronze.
Katie Ledecky
Swimming, Women’s 1500m Freestyle
Gold
Katie Ledecky didn’t need another medal to be an all-time swimming legend, but she simply dominated the competition the the women’s 1500m freestyle to claim her eighth Olympic gold and 12th Olympic medal overall, joining Natalie Coughlin and Jenny Thompson as the only other U.S. women to have a dozen medals at the Olympics. Ledecky, who earned a bronze in the women’s 400m freestyle, was untouchable in the 1500m, winning by a mammoth margin of more than 10 full seconds. Her time of 15:30.02 represents a new Olympic record.
Sarah Hildebrandt
Wrestling, Women’s 50kg/149lbs
Gold
Sarah Hildebrandt was slated to wrestle India’s Vinesh Phogat in the gold medal final of the women’s 50kg/149 lbs division, but Phogat couldn’t make weight (she came in 100 kg over the limit) and was disqualified, despite trying a range of measures, including cutting her hair off. As a result, Hildebrandt was paired against Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman. If Hildebrandt was at all thrown off by the late change, she didn’t show it, dispatching Guzman 3-0 to win Team USA’s second wrestling gold.
Quincy Hall
Track & Field, Men’s 400m
Gold
The Paris Games are Quincy Hall’s first Olympics and he certainly rose to the occasion, winning gold in the men’s 400-meter. The 26-year-old Missouri native narrowly edged out Great Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith (silver), by a margin of just 0.04 seconds. Zambia’s Muzala Samukonga finished with bronze.
Jennifer Valente, Lilly Williams, Chloe Dygart, Kristen Faulkner
Cycling, Women’s Team Pursuit
Gold
Team USA brought home another cycling medal, this time gold in women’s team pursuit. The squad of Jennifer Valente, Lilly Williams, Chloe Dygart, and Kristen Faulkner beat out New Zealand (silver) and Great Britain (bronze.) It’s the fifth cycling medal for the United States, and second gold. Faulkner previously won gold in the women’s road race, and Chloe Dygart took bronze in the women’s time trial.
Cole Hocker
Track & Field, Men’s 1500m
Gold
For much of the men’s 1500-meter, American Cole Hocker was just trying to hang around. He did that, and when he got to within 200 meters of the finish line, he found another gear, passing five competitors as he stunningly seized the gold medal. Hocker’s time was a full three seconds better than his previous best, and he overtook reigning world champion Josh Kerr of Great Britain and reigning Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway, both of whom were favored heading into the race. Kerr got the silver medal, and fellow American Yared Nuguse took bronze.
Amit Elor
Wrestling, Women's Freestyle 68kg/149 lbs
Gold
Amit Elor isn’t messing around. The 20-year-old wrestling phenom has won an astonishing 41 consecutive international matches. The most recent came with an Olympic gold medal. Elor dominated her final showdown in the 68-kilogram weight class, this one against Kyrgyzstan’s Meerim Zhumanazarova. It was a 3-0 victory, making Elor the youngest U.S. wrestler to win gold and just the third woman in the history of the country.
Caroline Marks
Surfing, Women’s
Gold
Caroline Marks edged out Brazil’s Tatiana Weston-Webb to win gold in women’s surfing. In an event delayed several days because of bad weather, Marks caught a barrel on her second wave to earn 7.50 points, the high score in the head-to-head round. In the waning minutes of the 35-minute round, Weston-Webb caught her fifth wave for a score of 4.50, bringing her to a total of 10.33 points. It was just barely below Marks’ score of 10.50. For Marks, 22, it is her first Olympic medal. She competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games, but finished outside a podium spot. And for the United States, it’s the second consecutive gold in the women’s event; Carissa Moore won the top prize in Tokyo, the first time surfing was an Olympic sport.
Valarie Allman
Track & Field, Women’s Discus
Gold
The defending champion in women’s discus did it again in Paris. Valarie Allman won gold in the women’s discus at the 2020 Tokyo Games and was able to successfully defend her title in 2024, beating out Bin Feng of China (silver) and Sandra Elkasevic of Croatia (bronze). In the end, it wasn’t all that close, with Allman’s longest throw measuring at 69.50 meters, nearly two full meters better than the next closest.
Regan Smith, Lilly King, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske
Swimming, Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay
Gold
Team USA finished its time in the pool in style, not only winning gold in the women’s 4x100m medley relay, but setting a world record in the process. This was the final pool swim of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the United States finished with 28 medals overall, including eight golds, beating out rivals Australia on both counts (the Aussie swimmers had 18 medals overall, with seven gold).
Bobby Finke
Swimming, Men's 1500m Freestyle
Gold
Bobby Finke, one of Katie Ledecky's regular training partners, did his best impression of her, winning the gold medal in the men's 1500m freestyle in dominant fashion, setting a world record in the process. He also kept alive a historic streak: since 1904, the U.S. men have won at least one individual swimming gold at the Olympics, and this was the last opportunity for the Americans to extend that streak in Paris. Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri won silver and Ireland's Daniel Wiffen took bronze. Finke previously won silver in the men's 800m freestyle.
Scottie Scheffler
Golf, Men’s
Gold
Scottie Scheffler entered the Olympic men’s golf tournament the top-ranked player in the world and he proved why on Sunday. Entering the final round four strokes behind leaders Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele, Scheffler shot a 9-under 62 to seize the gold. This is Scheffler’s seventh tournament win of the year, which notably includes his second career Master’s back in the spring. Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood won silver and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama took bronze.
Kristen Faulkner
Cycling, Women’s Road Race
Gold
Back in 2017, a 24-year-old Kristen Faulkner began to seriously take up cycling, having gotten into the sport by riding in New York City’s Central Park. Seven years later, she shocked the cycling world, winning gold in the women’s road race – a feat no American woman had achieved in 40 years. With three kilometers to go, Faulkner let loose and separated herself from the lead pack and cruised to victory in stunning style. Netherlands’ Marianne Vos won silver and Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky got bronze
Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske
Swimming, Mixed 4x100 Medley Relay
Gold
Team USA won gold in the mixed 4x100m medley relay, beating out China (silver) and Australia (bronze). In doing so, the foursome of Ryan Murphy, Nic Fink, Gretchen Walsh, and Torri Huske set a world record and continued U.S. swimming’s strong 2024 Paris Games; this was the 25th medal for American swimmers at these Olympics.
Ryan Crouser
Track & Field, Men’s Shot Put
Gold
They call Ryan Crouser the Michael Jordan of shot put and he didn’t disappoint at the 2024 Paris Olympics, throwing his way to his third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the event. The 31-year-old Oregon native first tasted Olympic gold at the 2016 Rio Games and no one has been able to touch him since. He’s also a three-time world champion in the event.
Kate Douglass
Swimming, Women’s 200m Breaststroke
Gold
Kate Douglass edged out defending champion Tatjana Smith from South Africa to take gold in the women’s 200m breaststroke. For Douglass, this is the first career gold medal at the Olympics. The 22-year-old New York native previously earned a bronze in the 200m individual medley at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Lee Kiefer, Lauren Scruggs, Jackie Dubrovich, Maia Weintraub
Fencing, Women’s Team Foil
Gold
The U.S. women’s foil team defeated Italy in the finals to take the nation’s first-ever team gold. Led by Lee Kiefer and Lauren Scruggs, the squad withstood a late rally by the Italian, letting an eight-point lead shrink to just three before Scruggs won three consecutive points to clinch a 45-39 win. This gold is Kiefer’s third in her career, and second at the Paris Olympics. She’s the first American fencer to win three golds.
Nicholas Mead, Justin Best, Michael Grady, Liam Corrigan
Rowing, Men’s Four
Gold
The United States had gone 64 years since their last gold medal in men’s four rowing, but the quartet of Nicolas Mead, Justin Best, Michael Grady and Liam Corrigan changed all that in Paris. They beat out New Zealand (silver) and Great Britain (bronze).
Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera
Gymnastics, Women’s Team Final
Gold
If the 2024 Paris Olympics were a redemption tour for the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, consider them redeemed … and then some. The squad of Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera cruised to victory in the team gold, posting a huge margin in overall points (nearly six points over silver medal-winning Italy.) The U.S. had to settle for second place in the team competition at the 2020 Tokyo Games and were on a mission to reclaim the team gold, which they’ve managed to win four times now (1996 Atlanta, 2012 London, 2016 Rio).
Torri Huske
Swimming, Women's 100m Butterfly
Gold
Torri Huske and U.S. teammate Gretchen Walsh were the two fastest swimmers in the 100m semifinal (Walsh topped all swimmers), beautifully setting up the Americans for success in the final race. In that final, Huske narrowly edged out Walsh, the world record holder, to take the gold, winning by a razor-thin margin of 0.04 seconds. Notably, Huske, 21, competed in the 100m butterfly final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finishing 0.01 second behind the bronze medal winner. Now she's got a gold medal in the same event, adding to the silver she won in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay, which she shared with teammate Walsh.
Lee Kiefer
Fencing, Women's Individual Foil
Gold
Lee Kiefer successfully defended her gold medal in the women's individual foil, defeating fellow American Lauren Scruggs in the final, Sunday, July 29, 2024. Kiefer, a 30-year-old medical student, is competing in her fourth Olympics and won gold in the same event at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Lee triumphed over Scruggs 15-6 in the final. It was the first All-American final in an Olympic foil event.
Jack Alexey, Chris Guiliano, Hunter Armstrong, Caeleb Dressel
Swimming, Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay
Gold
The men's swim team gave Team USA its first taste of gold in Paris, cruising to a victory in the 4x100m freestyle relay. Jack Alexey started the race, handing off to Chris Guiliano, who surged out front and the U.S. never looked back. Hunter Armstrong's astonishingly quick third leg - he clocked in at a team best 46.75 seconds - all but clinched first place. Tokyo Olympics hero Caeleb Dressel closed out the win, ending more than a second better than Australia (silver) and China (bronze.)
Vincent Hancock
Shooting, Men’s Skeet
Gold
Vincent Hancock took home his fourth individual Olympic gold medal in men’s skeet shooting. The 35-year-old Florida native is competing in his fifth Olympic Games. Hancock served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army’s Marksmanship Unit.
U.S. Women’s Volleyball Team
Silver
The U.S. women’s volleyball team entered the gold medal match against Italy as defending Olympic champions, but the Italians, ranked number one in the world, proved too tough, winning 3-0 (25-18, 25-20, 25-17). Still, an Olympic silver medal isn’t a bad consolation prize.
Kennedy Alexis Blades
Wrestling, Women's Freestyle 76kg/167lbs
Silver
Twenty-year-old Kennedy Alexis Blades had a remarkable run at the Paris Games. She came in as an unseeded challenger participating in her first Olympics and will be going home with a silver medal after falling to Japan’s Yuka Kagami in the gold medal match. When she’s not winning Olympic medals, Blades wrestles for the University of Iowa
Brooke Raboutou
Sport Climbing, Women’s Bouldering and Lead Combined
Silver
Brooke Raboutou made history, becoming the first American woman to medal in sport climbing. Raboutou, 23, took home silver in the women’s bouldering and lead combined, placing behind gold medalist (and good friend) Janja Garnbret of Slovenia. Austria’s Jessica Pilz took bronze.
Nevin Harrison
Canoeing, Women’s C-1 200m Sprint
Silver
Nevin Harrison was just a hundredth of a second from claiming her second career gold medal in the women’s C-1 200m sprint. Still a silver medal and second career piece of Olympic hardware isn’t bad for a 22-year-old. Canada’s Katharine Vincent took gold and Yarisleidis Cirilo Duboys took bronze.
Shelby McEwen
Track & Field, Men’s High Jump
Silver
American high jumper Shelby McEwen will take home a silver medal from Paris, but only after a marathon tiebreaker in which New Zealand’s Hamish Kerr narrowly beat him out for gold. They were the last two standing in the high jump finals and could have agreed to a tie with both getting gold, but they opted for a tiebreaker to settle things. Between the final rounds of regulation and the tiebreaker, they combined for 11 straight misses, and the bar had to be lowered twice during the tiebreak. Kerr finally cleared a 2.34-meter jump to claim the gold. It’s McEwen’s first Olympics and first medal.
Spencer Lee
Wrestling, Men’s Freestyle 57kg/125lbs
Silver
If you’re going to lose your final match at the Olympics, then make sure it’s in a gold medal final. Team USA’s Spencer Lee fell to Japan’s Rei Higuchi in the final, but walked away with a silver medal. Not a bad consolation prize. The 25-year-old from Pennsylvania is competing in his first Olympics.
Anna Cockrell
Track & Field, Women’s 400m Hurdles
Silver
Anna Cockrell hurdled her way to the podium in her second Olympics, winning silver in the women’s 400m hurdles behind fellow American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who took gold. Cockrell made the finals of the 400m hurdles at the 2020 Tokyo Games, but was disqualified after officials determined she was guilty of a lane violation. There were no such problems in Paris, as the U.S. finished 1-2 in the event. Femke Bol of the Netherlands took bronze.
Daniel Roberts
Track & Field, Men’s 110m Hurdles
Silver
Daniel Roberts ensured it was another 1-2 finish in hurdles for the United States, winning silver in the men’s 100m hurdles. Roberts, a 26-year-old first-time Olympian, finished 0.1 seconds behind Team USA compatriot Grant Holloway and less than 0.003 seconds in front of Jamaica’s Rasheed Broadbell. American’s Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (gold) and Anna Cockrell (silver) also finished 1-2 in the women’s 400m hurdles.
Kenny Bednarek
Track & Field, Men’s 200m
Silver
Kenny Bednarek, a.k.a. “Kung Fu Kenny” because of the headband he wears while competing, took silver in the men’s 200m. Prior to the race, all eyes were on Bednarek’s teammate Noah Lyles, hoping to pull off a double gold in the men’s 100m and 200m, but he was diagnosed with Covid-19 earlier in the week and, while he still raced, was noticeably off his game, finishing with the bronze medal. Bednarek was leading in the final 100 meters or so, but was overtaken by eventual gold medalist Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. Bednarek, 25, also won silver in the 200m at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Kenneth Rooks
Track & Field, Men’s 3000m Steeplechase
Silver
Midway through the men’s steeplechase, Kenneth Rooks was in the back half of the pack. Then he turned on the afterburners and by the final lap, he was stunningly leading the race. Rooks, a first-time Olympian, finished with a time of 8:06.41, a personal best, to claim the silver medal. Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali won gold and Kenya’s Abraham Kibiwott took bronze.
Katie Moon
Track & Field, Women’s Pole Vault
Silver
Katie Moon won silver in the women’s pole vault, her second career Olympics medal in the event. Moon, who earned gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games, vaulted 15 feet, 11 inches on her final successful attempt, finishing behind gold medal winner Nina Kennedy of Australia, who cleared 16 feet, three-quarters of an inch. Alysha Newman of Canada took bronze.
Tom Schaar
Skateboarding, Men’s Park
Silver
Tom Schaar added the United States second skateboarding medal at the Paris Olympics, taking silver in men’s park. Schaar, 24, finished just behind Australia’s Keegan Palmer (gold); Brazil’s Agusto Akio won bronze. Schaar is competing in his first Olympics.
Anita Alvarez, Jaime Czarkowski, Megumi Field, Keana Hunter, Audrey Kwon, Jacklyn Luu, Daniella Ramirez, Ruby Remati
Artistic Swimming, Team
Silver
You might say Team USA are a bunch of smooth criminals. The U.S. artistic swimming team took silver in the team competition, with one highlight being their synchronized moonwalk to Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” while upside down and underwater. China’s team won gold and Spain went home with bronze.
Annette Echikunwoke
Track & Field, Women’s Hammer
Silver
Heading into the 2020 Tokyo Games, Nigerian-American track & field athlete Annette Echikunwoke was all set to represent Nigeria. But the Nigerian Federation apparently failed to effectively coordinate with her on drug testing requirements ahead of the Games and she was disqualified. Following that organizational snafu, she decided to represent the U.S. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 28-year-old from Ohio added another medal into Team USA’s collection, taking silver in the women’s hammer throw.
Sam Kendricks
Track & Field, Men’s Pole Vault
Silver
At the 2020 Tokyo Games, Sam Kendricks couldn’t compete because of a positive Covid-19 test. This time around in Paris, there were no such complications and he took the silver medal in men’s pole vault. Kendricks, 31, previously earned a bronze in the same event in the 2016 Rio Games.
Simone Biles
Gymnastics, Women’s Floor Exercise
Silver
In her final competitive appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics (and who knows, maybe at the Olympics ever) Simone Biles took silver in the women’s floor exercise, very narrowly being edged out by Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. This caps a hugely successful Paris Games for Biles, the U.S. gymnastics G.O.A.T.: she won gold medals in women’s team, individual all-around, and vault.
Seth Rider, Taylor Spivey, Morgan Pearson, Taylor Knibb
Triathlon, Mixed Team Relay
Silver
The United States pulled out a surprise silver medal win in the mixed team triathlon relay. Competitors on each team had to swim a 300-meter lap in the Seine River, bike seven kilometers, then run two laps of 900 meters each. Germany won gold and it was a photo finish between Great Britain and the U.S. team of Seth Rider, Taylor Spivey, Morgan Pearson and Taylor Knibb. In the end, it was Team USA sporting silver.
Austen Smith, Vincent Hancock
Shooting, Mixed Team Skeet

Nic Fink
Swimming, Men's 100m Breaststroke

Following the race, Lyles received medical treatment and left the track in a wheelchair.
Sam Watson
Sport Climbing, Men’s Speed

Watson first broke the world record during a preliminary elimination round, notching a time of 4.75 seconds (he owned the previous record of 4.79 seconds as well).

Track & Field, Men’s 100m
Bronze
At the end of the men’s 100m in Paris, all eyes were on the photo finish showing Team USA’s Noah Lyles barely edged out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson. But Lyles U.S. teammate Fred Kerley wasn’t that far behind. In fact, he was just 0.02 seconds off the pace, but it was good enough for a bronze medal.

Stephen Nedoroscik
Gymnastics, Men's Pommel Horse
Bronze
One of the defining moments of the 2024 Paris Olympics came during the men's gymnastics team final. As Team USA worked their way through the event's six rotations, a conspicuously bespectacled figure sat on the sidelines in a warmup suit. It was Stephen Nedoroscik, the U.S.'s pommel horse specialist who finally was called into action during the final rotation and clinched a bronze medal for his squad. Well, he was at it again in the individual pommel horse event, seizing bronze behind Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan (gold) and Kazakhstan's Nariman Kurbanov (silver).
Suni Lee
Gymnastics, Women’s All-Around Final
Bronze
Suni Lee took home the bronze in the women’s gymnastics all-around, three years after winning gold in the event at the Tokyo Games. That accomplishment is nothing to take for granted. No defending women’s all-around champion made it back to the podium the following Olympics other than Nadia Comǎneci, who won gold in 1976, then followed it up with silver in 1980. Lee was on the bubble for a medal entering the final rotation, but nailed her floor routine to ensure she’d add a medal to the team gold she earned two days prior. Team USA teammate Simone Biles took gold and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade took silver.
Suni Lee

Grant Fisher
Track & Field, Men's 10,000m
Bronze
For as dominant as the U.S. has been historically in track and field events at the Olympics, distance running has been a tough nut to crack for the red, white, and blue. Since the men's 10,000m event was included in the Olympics, in 1912, the U.S. had only made it to the podium three times. Well, Grant Fisher made it four with a scintillating bronze medal finish in the 10,000m. Fisher ran a steady race, staying with the lead pack, but briefly stumbled with around nine laps to go. He quickly recovered and maintained the steady pace he'd been on until the final 600 meters, when the sprint for the finish line really began. Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei, the current world record holder in the event, cruised to a gold medal, while Fisher briefly surged into second place before Ethiopia's Berihu Aregawi, the defending Olympic champion, overtook him right at the finish line for the silver. For Fisher, a 27-year-old two-time Olympian, this was his first Olympic medal.
Grant Fisher
Track & Field, Men’s 5000m
Bronze
It’s been an eventful Olympics for American middle distance runner Grant Fisher. First, he won bronze in the men’s 10,000m - only the fourth time a U.S. man has medaled in that event since 1912. He followed it up with another bronze in the men’s 5,000m, becoming the first American man to medal in both the 10,000m and 5,000m at the same Games.
Casey Kaufhold, Brady Ellison
Archery, Mixed Team
Bronze
Casey Kaufhold and Brady Ellison defeated India 6-2 to win bronze in mixed team archery. The duo narrowly fell (5-3) to Germany in the previous round, or else they’d have been facing off against South Korea for the gold. As it stood, the South Koreans outpaced the Germans to win the competition. The medal for Kaufhold, the top-ranked woman in the world, was the first for a female American archer since 1988. It will take some of the sting out of the stunning early defeat she suffered in the individual competition.
Ian Barrows, Hans Henken
Sailing, Men’s Skiff
Bronze
Ian Barrows and Hans Henken’s bronze medal in the men’s skiff is the first U.S. Olympic sailing medal since 2016. Spain won gold and New Zealand silver.

Gymnastics, Men's Team
Bronze
The last time the U.S. men's gymnastics team took home a team medal at the Olympics as in 2008. Until this year in Paris. The team, consisting of Fred Richards, Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, and Stephen Nedoroscik, earned the bronze medal after a fierce day of competition, finishing behind Japan (gold) and China (silver). And in fact, it was the performance of Nedoroscik on pommel horse, his specialty event and the only apparatus he competed in on the day, that capped the Americans' day and clinched the medal.
Emma Weyant
Women’s 400m Individual Medley
Bronze
Emma Weyant clinched bronze in the women’s 400m individual medley, behind Canada’s Summer McIntosh (gold) and Team USA compatriot Katie Grimes. Weyant, 22, is competing in her second Olympics and took the silver medal in this same event at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
