Which country will win the most medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics?
According to Nielsen’s Gracenote Sports The United States is expected to win the most medals overall (123), by a wide margin, in Paris, which should come as no surprise.

Predictions indicate that Great Britain will likewise generate a medal performance level comparable to the previous Olympics, even if they will win fewer gold medals.
As hosts, France should benefit from the customary uptick in performance, shooting up to fourth place in the medal standings and third place behind the US and China on gold meals.
Australia is expected to finish in the top five with 50 medals, which would be the most for the country in 20 years, since Athens 2004.
Because Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, athletes from Russia and Belarus have been banned from competing internationally in almost all Olympic sports. This makes it harder to guess how those chosen to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes in Paris will do in terms of medals.
Since there are no team events and only individuals may compete as neutrals, it is anticipated that the number of medals won will be restricted.
Despite significant disruptions to their Olympic preparations owing to the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian athletes are expected to win three gold medals and thirteen medals overall.
Prospects for the GB team’s medal in Paris
A total of 66 medals are anticipated to be won by Team GB athletes, solidifying their position as top contenders since they hosted in 2012. The foundation of success has been the equitable distribution of medals among sports, and in Paris, this is expected to persist.
