The Olympic Games are in full swing from Paris!
For a full rundown of all the events each day, we have a full breakdown of everything airing, along with where and how to watch. Every Olympic event will be streaming live on Peacock.
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. China had maintained a lead in golds for much of the first week, but the U.S. caught up with them early in the second week of games.
So which country is leading in medals as of the 12th day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count. (And keep scrolling to see some of the best moments for Team USA from Wednesday).
Here is the full leaderboard, last updated Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. ET
Here’s a breakdown of what events Team USA has won medals in and the athletes involved:

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 12
GUTSY TRACK EFFORTS
In his debut Olympics, American Kenneth Rooks surged forward in the home stretch of the men’s 3000m steeplechase to earn silver. He beat his personal best time by nine seconds as he nearly pulled off a massive upset — in a race for which he was never supposed to be in contention.
Rooks took a sizeable lead in the last lap and maintained that lead entering the backstretch, but was caught by defensing Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali. But he did fight off another runner by just six-hundredths of a second to earn a surprising silver medal in his first Olympics.
Team USA’s Kenneth Rooks won a silver medal in the 3000m steeplechase event at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday.
In another gritty come-from-behind performance, Team USA’s Quincy Hall won gold in the men’s 400m final, using a late charge to storm to first place in the race’s final stretch. Hall posted a personal-best time of 43.40 seconds.
Another bright spot at Le Stade de France for the U.S. was Katie Moon, who finished with a silver medal in the women’s pole vault.
WEIGHTLIFTING HISTORY
Hampton Morris became the first American man to win a weightlifting medal in 40 years when he took bronze in the men’s 61kg (134 lbs.) final.
The Marietta, Georgia, native gave the U.S. its first men’s weightlifting medal at the Olympics since 1984. The 20-year-old also became the youngest American man to medal in the sport since 1956.
Morris started out his Olympic debut with a 126kg snatch and followed it up with an event-leading 172kg clean and jerk. His 298kg combined total put him behind gold medalist Li Fabin of China (310kg) and silver medalist Theerapong Silachai of Thailand (303 kg).
For his medal, he sure does deserve a nice cup of coffee — which he really, really likes apparently:
U.S. weightlifter Hampton Morris won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics and coffee had a big part to play.
FROM CYCLING IN CENTRAL PARK TO 2 GOLD MEDALS
The United States just won its first Olympic gold in the women’s team pursuit track cycling event.
Team USA beat New Zealand around the velodrome (that’s cycling speak for a banked indoor track) in the gold medal match, putting up a final time of 4:04.306 over the race’s 4 kilometers.
It’s the second gold medal of the Paris Olympics for Kristen Faulkner, who didn’t even initially qualify for the Olympics. She didn’t take up cycling until after college, when she was living in New York City and went cycling in Central Park as a hobby.
The U.S. had medaled in the women’s team pursuit at each Olympics since it debuted at the 2012 London Games. However, it was still searching for its first gold medal in the event until Wednesday.
