The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially now off and running, as the action continues on the second day in Paris.
A third followed on day two, as Kimberley Woods took bronze in the women’s kayak singles final.
Driven by their strong early showing in the swimming pool, Australia finished day one on top and they already have four gold medals, moving ahead of Olympic powerhouses China and the United States for now, while Antoine Dupont delivered hosts France’s first gold of their home Games in the men’s rugby sevens.
The hosts have now doubled that tally, after mountain biker Pauline Ferrand-Prevot produced a dominant display to storm to victory.
Great Britain made history at their home Olympics at London 2012 by achieving their biggest medal haul since 1908, claiming 65 in total including 29 golds to finish behind the USA and China.
That number increased to 67 in Rio de Janeiro four years later, an astonishing achievement as they pipped China to second place behind the USA by virtue of one more solitary gold success.
They remained consistent with 64 total medals at the Covid-delayed 2020 Games in Tokyo three years ago, good enough for fourth place overall behind the USA, China and host nation Japan.
Here are the latest medal standings for Paris 2024…

How the medal table works
The medal table is ranked by gold medals, rather than overall medal count.
Silver and then bronze medals are used as tiebreakers if two countries are tied on the same number of golds. Then alphabetical order comes into play.
