The United States of America (USA), represented by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024. U.S. athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, except for the 1980 edition in Moscow, when America led a sixty-six-nation boycott in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. As Los Angeles is hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics, the United States marched penultimately before the homebound French team entered Place du Trocadéro during the parade of nations segment of the opening ceremony. Additionally, an American segment featuring H.E.R. and Tom Cruise from Paris, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre from Long Beach, was performed during the closing ceremony.

The opening ceremony flag-bearers for the United States were LeBron James and Coco Gauff. James, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, is the first male basketball player to be chosen.[1][2] At 20 years of age, Gauff is the youngest American athlete and the first tennis player to be so honored.[3][4] The closing ceremony flag-bearers were Nick Mead and Katie Ledecky. Mead was part of the U.S. men's four rowing team that won their first gold medal since 1960, while Ledecky, a nine-time Olympic gold medalist, became the most decorated female Olympian to be chosen.[5]

The United States competed in all sports except handball and was represented by more female than male athletes for the fourth consecutive time in the Summer Olympics (278 men and 314 women).[6]

The team topped the medal rankings, with a total of 40 gold, 44 silver, and 42 bronze medals.[7] Tied with China on golds (40), the U.S. placed first in the overall medal tally on a count-back[8] (44–27 in silver & 42–24 also in bronze).[9] The occasion also marked the first time in Summer Olympic history that two countries finished with an equal number of gold medals at the top.[10]

Background

[edit]

The United States will be looking to extend its winning streak both in the gold medal count and overall medal count to the fourth and eighth consecutive Olympic Games, respectively. In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, the USOPC debuted an all-new brand platform, One for All, showcasing the many powerful stories of the athletes who make up the collective Team USA.[13]

Data technology firm Gracenote, which specializes in Olympic medal projections, traditionally published its first estimates a year before the Games' commencement, in July 2023. In this release, based on the analysis of recent performances, the United States was predicted to win 43 gold, 43 silver, and 42 bronze medals at Paris for a total of 128 ahead of hosts France (32–20–11) and China (26–20–22).[14] In January 2024, the projection was adjusted to 37 gold and 129 total medals (China: 35–85, France 26–53).[15] In May 2024, it was again slightly adjusted to 39 gold, 125 overall (China: 33–90, France 29–55).[16][17]

Team leaders

[edit]

Rocky Harris was named the chef de mission of the 2024 U.S. Olympic team.[18] Team USA House is located in the Palais Brongniart, offering guests a home base to cheer on and celebrate American athletes at the Games.[19] Jose Castillo, a Johnson City, Tennessee entrepreneur, will serve as a host at Team USA House.[20]

Uniforms

[edit]

Team USA revealed 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony and closing ceremony uniforms on June 18, 2024, designed by Ralph Lauren. The uniforms for the opening ceremony feature a navy blue jacket, light blue striped dress shirt, blue-washed jeans, and beige suede shoes. The closing ceremony uniforms feature a predominantly white look that includes a moto-style denim jacket and jeans, polo, hat, and the same belt and shoes that are part of the opening ceremony outfits.[21]

Archery

[edit]

Four American archers qualified for the men's and women's individual recurve by virtue of their respective result at the 2023 World Championships in Berlin, Germany; 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile; and 2024 Pan American Championships in Medellín, Colombia.[22][23][24]

The team includes Olympic medalist Brady Ellison and women's world number one Casey Kaufhold.[25]

Athletics (track and field)

[edit]

U.S. track and field athletes have achieved the entry standards for Paris 2024 either by passing the direct qualifying mark (or time for track and road races) or by virtue of their world ranking in the events listed in the table (a maximum of three athletes each per country).[27] USA Track & Field kicked off their qualification period with the Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando, Florida in February. Three women and two men punched their tickets to Paris with the third men's spot still up for grabs.[12] On February 21, 2024, USATF announced staff rosters for the Olympics: Stanley Redwine would serve as the men's head coach and LaTanya Sheffield would be the women's head coach.[28]

To assure their selection to the team, athletes competed in the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials on June 21–30, 2024, in Eugene, Oregon.[29] On July 9, 2024, USA Track & Field officially announced the final roster of 120 athletes (59 men and 61 women) qualified for the 2024 U.S. Olympic track and field team.[30]

16-year-old Quincy Wilson was selected for the 4x400-meter relay team, becoming the youngest male U.S. track athlete in history.[31]
