Through an exceptional comeback during the day of Saturday August 10, France is in a good position to obtain a top 5 in the medal ranking, at the start of this last day of competition.

The end of these Paris 2024 Olympic Games will occur this evening. It will put an end to two weeks of successful and completely crazy Olympics for the French delegation.

Atlanta’s gold medal record broken for France
By obtaining six medals yesterday, including two gold allowing the French delegation to beat its record of 15 gold metals from Atlanta, France regained its place in the top 5 in the medal table. The French are currently ahead of the British by two gold medals but also three ahead of South Korea and the Netherlands and three ahead of Germany. Better yet, the French are only two golden units from third place, held by Australia, neck and neck with Japan. Likewise, the Tricolores are in fourth position all things considered and could well finish on the podium this evening in the nation rankings, if the predictions turn into medals. The Blues are only one unit behind Great Britain (63 for the Anglo-Saxons against 62 for France) and a clear lead over the 5th country (Australia, with 50 medals).

In the lead, China ahead of the United States, until the end?
The fight is also fierce at the front. Despite their success against the French men’s basketball team (98-87), the Americans moved into second position in the medal table, behind China, which has one more gold medal (39 against 38). If the United States finished in second position, it would be a first since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, although during the previous Olympics in Tokyo, everything was decided in the final moments. Let’s see the evolution of the final ranking this evening, since many chances of medals remain for these two nations.
