(Sports news, Olympic news) Predictions for the race at the top of the Gold medal rankings made before the Olympics show that this will be an exhilarating Olympics.
The 2024 Paris Olympics have officially opened in Paris, and predictions for the medal rankings have come up with many surprises. France is predicted to surpass England to take 3rd place with the host team.
According to L’Equipe’s prediction, host France will win 75 medals, including 28 gold, 25 silver and 22 bronze. The British team will fall 4th place with 61 medals, including 20 gold, 26 silver and 15 bronze.
According to L’Equipe’s forecast, the US will lead the rankings with 114 medals. However, China will have the same number of gold medals as the US, with each country winning 40 gold medals. This creates an exciting race between the two leading sports powers in the world.
Remember, at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the US team won the overall medal count with 113 medals, including 39 gold, 41 silver & 33 bronze. One gold more than the Chinese team (38 gold, 32 silver and 19 bronze).

He hopes to successfully defend his title in the 10m springboard team event. In addition, the British team also has Adam Peaty, a top swimmer, and Keely Hodgkinson. A strong candidate for gold in the women’s 800m event…
