The 2024 Paris Olympics belonged to women.
These were the first Games in history to achieve gender parity in terms of having an equal number of women and men compete.
Women shone on the world stage, beating many records along the way.
Perhaps most impressive is the sheer number of medals won by U.S. women.
They took 67 out of Team USA’s 126 total — outdoing the men by seven medals (though one of those medals, Jordan Chiles’ bronze, has been called into question after the International Olympic Committee asked her to cede it to Romania).
If American women were their own nation, they would have won the third-most medals, behind only the U.S. and China — and that would be true even without Chiles’ bronze.
The country in fourth place, with the closest number of medals to the American women, is Great Britain, with 65.
