The last Summer Olympics in which the United States didn't have the most gold medals was the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, when the host nation won 48 golds to the USA’s 36.

The United States has earned five medals — one gold, two silver and two bronze.
On Saturday, Team USA secured its first gold medal, as the men's 4x100 meter relay team secured the nation's first top-step finish of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Katie Ledecky, the greatest female swimmer in history, added to her remarkable résumé with a bronze medal in the much-anticipated women’s 400-meter freestyle race.
A silver medal finish by Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook in the women's 3-meter synchronized springboard gave Team USA its first medal of the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
