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 — and has been maintaining a lead in golds for much of the first week.
So which country is leading in medals as of the seventh day of competition? Here is a look at the Olympic medal count (and keep reading for some Team USA highlights from Day 7).
Here is the full leaderboard, last updated July 28 at 5 p.m.

Paris Summer Olympics 2024
The U.S. won six medals Friday, but France had a big day and won nine, the most of any nation in a single day in the Paris Olympics. China added more gold medals on Friday and now leads in that category with 13.
Despite racking up more medals, Team USA is actually behind their pace from the Tokyo Olympics. At the end of Day 7 in those Olympics, the U.S. had 41 total medals.
Of the 43 medals won so far by the U.S., 27 of them have been won by women.
Here's a breakdown of what events Team USA has won medals in and the athletes involved:

Team USA Highlights: Day 7
EPIC FINISH TO MEN'S 1500m
Imagine running around a track 25 times, only to get passed at the very end and lose out on a higher podium position by two-hundredths of a second?
That's exactly what happened to Team USA's Grant Fisher — but the race was still a huge success for him.
On the 25th and final lap,Fisher rallied for a thrilling and historic third-place finish in the men's 10,000m race. The 27-year-old overcame a mid-race stumble to finish in 26:43.46, just barely being beaten out by silver medalist Berihu Aregawi (26:43.44) of Ethiopia. Reigning silver medalist Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda set an Olympic record of 26:43.14 to win the race.
After a fifth-place finish at the pandemic-delayed 2020 Tokyo Games, Fisher became just the second American man in the last 56 years to medal in the event as he earned his first Olympic medal.
SEEING SILVER
Regan Smith picked up yet another silver medal in Paris, this time in the women's 200m backstroke. Smith, who had already claimed sliver in the 100m backstroke and 200m butterfly, finished second to Australia's Kaylee McKeown with a time of 2:04.26. McKeown, the reigning Olympic champion, secured the repeat in 2:03.73.
Smith's three-medal haul in Paris gives her six Olympic medals — five silver and one bronze — for her career.
The U.S. secured its first equestrian medal of the Paris Games by earning a third straight silver in team jumping. Karl Cook, Laura Kraut and McLain Ward combined to record four penalty points, finishing behind gold medalist Great Britain's two penalties.
Sagen Maddalena made the Olympic podium for the first time with a second-place finish in the women's rifle 3 positions. The Woodland, California, native tallied 463.0 points to claim silver behind Switzerland's Chiara Leone (464.4).
Maddalena had previously placed fifth in the event at the Tokyo Games and she finished one spot off the air rifle podium earlier in the Paris Games.
SETTING RECORDS ON DAY 1
Friday was the first day of track events, and the U.S. started out very strong.
Team USA broke the first track and field world record of the Paris Games in the preliminary round of the mixed 4x400m relay. Vernon Norwood, Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon and Kaylyn Brown finished in 3:07.41 to shatter the United States' own world record of 3:08.80, which was set by a different American quartet at the 2023 World Championships.
