Team USA Expected To Dominate Summer Olympics: All The US Medalists Competing In The 2024 Paris Olympics
The Olympics are taking place right now, and the competition is stiff. Athletes from across the world compete among the best in their respective sports to see who comes out on top.
Patriotism is evident among those who follow the games, especially those who hope to see their favorite athletes bring home the gold. For competitors, their desire to win is fueled by their hopes to make their country proud.
Team USA, however, has been the most dominant team in the Olympic Games' history. According to the Olympics website, they've collected 2,638 medals, including 1,065 gold medals.
Nonetheless, Team USA's winning streak is nothing to overlook. If they leave with the most gold medals (which I'm confident they will), this will mark the eighth consecutive Summer Olympics where Team USA comes up on top.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the Team USA athletes who already claimed a few medals to their name before Paris 2024.
