Team USA has taken the lead in the 2024 Paris Olympics with 28 total medals, according to American media. However, China tops the chart in terms of gold medals with eight. Google search results also reflect this distinction. The International Olympic Committee does not favor one way of tracking medals over the other. Some criticize the American emphasis on total medals, calling it “American exceptionalism.” However, some argue that total medals make sense as a logical ranking system. Despite having the most medals overall, the U.S. lags in gold medals. Team USA has sent the most athletes to Paris and still has many opportunities to win gold. Two engineers from California proposed a new ranking system that assigns different values to gold, silver, and bronze medals, putting Team USA in the lead with 13 points.
