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 — and has been maintaining a lead in golds for much of the first week.
So which country is leading in medals as of the eighth day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count.

The last Summer Olympics in which the United States did not top the gold medal table was in 2008 in Beijing. Countries always get a medal bump being the host nation, and France is expected to almost triple the number of gold medals it won in Tokyo.
Team USA Highlights: Day 8
JUST 🐐 THINGS...AGAIN
It was another gold medal for Simone Biles. Ho hum.
After winning gold in the individual all-around and as part of the dominant USA all-around team, Biles added another Olympic gold medal to her historic career, the seventh of her career.
With her signature Biles II vault, she earned a score of 15.700 to win. The element, also known as the Yurchenko double pike, is not only very dangerous and super difficult to land, but is the same move that beset Biles with a sudden case of the "twisties" during the Tokyo Olympics.
Biles is the second woman to win vault twice, joining Vera Casalavska of Czechoslovakia as a two-time gold medalist on the vault. Casalavska went back to back in 1964 and 1968. Biles now has 10 Olympic medals in her career, tied for the third most by a female gymnast.
American Jade Carey took the bronze.
SHOOTING FOR GOLD (AND SILVER)
The men's skeet final came down to two Americans: the teacher and the student.
Three-time gold medalist Vincent Hancock, 35, and Conner Lynn Prince, a 24-year-old first-time Olympian that Hancock has coached, went head-to-head for the gold medal.
Prince and Hancock entered the final 10 targets tied at 48. Then they each hit their next six shots. But on the final four, Prince faltered -- and Hancock capitalized.
Hancock hit his last four targets to clinch his fourth Olympic gold medal with 58 points. Prince won the silver with 57 points.
Hancock has won the gold medal in men's skeet in each Olympics since 2008.
CLARK KENT STRIKES AGAIN
Team USA's Stephen Nedoroscik has done it again.
The artistic gymnastics star, who has been given the nickname "Pommel Horse Guy," earned bronze in the men's pommel horse final on Saturday with a score of 15.300.
Ahead of Nedoroscik was Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan (15.533) and Khazikstan's Nariman Kurbanov (15.433).
This is the second medal Nedoroscik has picked up at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Earlier in the week, Nedoroscik picked up his first bronze medal in the men's artistic team all-around event.
