THE TRIUMPH OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE RISE OF CANADA AT THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS

Paris has closed its doors on one of the most memorable editions of the Olympic Games, featuring 329 events that kept the world on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, the final medal table has made it clear that the United States remains a dominant force in world sports, securing an impressive total of 126 medals while tying with China in the number of gold medals.

THE UNITED STATES SWEPT THE COMPETITION

The U.S. team concluded its participation with a win in women’s basketball, which enabled it to tie with China for the top spot in the gold medal rankings. This achievement adds to 126 American medals, surpassing their previous record of 121 at the Rio 2016 Olympics. With this resounding result, which will go down in the annals of history, the dominance of the United States on the Olympic stage is underscored, which will undoubtedly influence bets on future competitions, not just the Olympics.

CANADA IMPRESSED

The United States was not the only country to stand out in Paris in 2024. Canada also performed excellently, winning nine gold medals, the highest number in its history at a non-boycotted Summer Olympics. With 27 medals, they set a new national record, marking a significant milestone and filling the country with pride.

FRANCE WAS A FIERCE CONTENDER

The host country, France, also had reasons to celebrate: with a notable increase in the number of medals won, they achieved their best performance since Paris last hosted the Games in 1924. This resurgence on the Olympic stage could considerably impact future Olympic betting odds, especially as the world turns its gaze back to France in future competitions.

As the Olympic flame fades in Paris and attention shifts to the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, bettors are beginning to see attractive and likely successful opportunities for individual bets on the sports stars crowned at these Olympics.
