AAs the Paris Summer Olympics begin and the lists of competitors are defined, athletes prepare to answer one last question: who will win?
In these Summer Olympic Games, there will be 329 medal events—157 of which are for men, 152 for women and 20 mixed events. Overall, there are around 1,000 medals to be won by any of the 206 countries at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) – each of which will have at least one athlete in Paris this summer.
Over the 19 days of competition, around 10,500 athletes will compete for medals in 32 sports and for the first time they will do so with gender parity—with the same number of male and female athletes.
Historically, Team USA has dominated the Summer Olympics, entering Paris with 1,070 gold medals and 2,667 total medals. Then the Soviet Union won 1,009 medals. Great Britain and the People’s Republic of China have 916 and 636 respectively. There are more than 60 countries in these Olympics that have never won an Olympic medal.
