U.S. Gymnast ordered to return Olympic bronze medal

American gymnast Jordan Chiles has been ordered to return her bronze medal after the International Olympic Committee said there was an 'error in the scoring.' U.S. Olympic officials say they will appeal the court ruling.

The Brief

    • The 2024 Paris Olympics drew to a close on Sunday, Aug. 11.
    • The U.S. led the final medal standings with 126 total medals.
    • The U.S. and China were tied for the most gold medals at 40.

The 2024 Olympics are done. The United States led the final medal standings with 126 total medals, ahead of China, Britain and France. 

But which country came out with the most gold medals? 

The U.S. still ranks at the top for that – tied with China. The U.S. women's basketball team held off France on Sunday to win gold in the final event of the Paris Olympics, and that hardware was needed for the Americans to tie China for the most with 40.

Below is a list of the countries’ medal winnings, by totality and individual placements.
