The USA became the first country in modern Olympic history to reach the milestone of winning 3,000 medals on Tuesday. When the four swimmers shown above won silver, that put the total number of medals won at the 3,000 mark. At the Olympic Games in Paris the US has won 9 gold, 18 silver and 16 bronze medals; going into this week, accounting for all medals through the 2022 winter games, the US held 1,175 gold, 951 silver and 833 bronze. Considering all medals from all time gets kind of complicated as some nations have combined or separated over the years. The Soviet Union fell apart in the early 90’s while Germany was reunified. There is no other nation anywhere close to the US record but If you really want to get deep in the weeds there are multiple tables and explanations of how the data is represented on this page.
