The Olympic Games are in full swing from Paris!

For a full rundown of all the events each day, we have a full breakdown of everything airing, along with where and how to watch. Every Olympic event will be streaming live on Peacock.

When it comes to the medal count, the United States is the favorite to win the most medals. China is unlikely to overtake the U.S. in the overall medal haul, but has a chance to win more gold medals than the Americans.

So which country is leading in medals as of the fourth day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count (and keep reading for some Team USA highlights from Day 4).

Last updated: July 30 at 5 p.m.

Here is the full leaderboard, last updated July 28 at 5 p.m.

The U.S. will enter Day 5 of the Paris Games with the most swimming medals at 15, leading second-place Australia by seven. The Aussies, however, own the most golds with four, while the U.S. and Italy have two apiece.

Team USA Highlights: Day 4

GOLDEN RETURN FOR BILES

Watch highlights of Simone Biles’ floor routine during the women’s team competition at the Paris Olympics.

Team USA is back on top.

After claiming silver in Tokyo three years ago, the U.S. women’s gymnastics team recaptured the gold medal in Tuesday’s team final for the 2024 Olympics.

Simone Biles clinched the gold with a dazzling performance in the final floor exercise, which put the U.S. (171.296) well ahead of silver-medalist Italy (165.494) and bronze-medalist Brazil (164.497).

Along with Jordan Chiles, Biles competed in all four events in the final. Suni Lee participated in three events (floor exercise, balance beam, uneven bars) and Jade Carey did the vault. Now, they are all gold medalists.

Simone Biles helped Team USA capture gold in the women’s team gymnastic competition.

USA RUGBY STUNNER

Alex Sedrick ran her way into U.S. rugby history.

The Salt Lake City native scored a try and hit the game-winning conversion on the final play to give Team USA a 14-12 victory over Australia in the bronze medal match, giving the U.S. its first ever Olympic rugby sevens medal.

Ilona Maher, Kristi Kirshe, and Sarah Levy helped Team USA make history Tuesday, capturing the country’s first medal in women’s rugby with a win over Australia in the bronze medal match at the Paris Olympics.

Australia got its first try just over a minute into the bronze-medal contest thanks to Maddison Levi. The U.S. then equaled the score on an Alev Kelter try and her ensuing conversion.

Team USA’s defense held strong early in the second half, holding the score to 7-7 until there was 1:25 remaining. That’s when Maddison Levi and her sister, Teagan, combined for a second try.

U.S. women’s rugby celebrated moments after winning the bronze medal in rugby sevens at the Paris Olympics.

SILVER(S) AND BRONZE IN POOL

The U.S. quartet of Luke Hobson, Carson Foster, Drew Kibler and Kieran Smith won silver in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay. Team USA made the podium in the event after finishing fourth at the pandemic-delayed 2020 Tokyo Games. That ended a streak of four straight Olympic titles for the Americans.

Team USA’s Bobby Finke took silver in the men’s 800m freestyle, with Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen earning gold with an Olympic record.

On the women’s side, Regan Smith and Katharine Berkoff finished second and third, respectively, in the women’s 100m backstroke final.

Australia’s Kaylee McKeown repeated as champion with an Olympic record time of 57.33 seconds.

Smith finished in 57.66 seconds to capture her second individual silver medal and her fourth medal overall. Berkoff, who finished in 57.98 seconds, made the podium for the first time.
