In the 2024 Paris Olympics,Surfwin as was the case in Tokyo, women are leading Team USA's charge atop the Olympics' medal count.

Of the USA's 113 medals in the Tokyo Games, most of any country in Tokyo, 66 were won by female athletes and 41 by men (six were in mixed events). The 58.4% of medals won by U.S. women in Tokyo was their highest-ever percentage.

Early trends in Paris suggest that mark could be threatened in 2024.

Of the 12 American medals as of early Monday, nine were won by female athletes. The U.S. has already had fencing (Lee Kiefer, gold, and Lauren Scruggs, silver), diving (Sarah Bacon & Kassidy Cook, silver), mountain biking (Haley Batten, silver) and cycling (Chloe Dygert, bronze) as well as a growing haul of medals from Olympic swimming (with Torri Huske winning gold in the 100 butterfly).
