After a year-long delay to the Tokyo Olympics and during a global pandemic, the women of Team USA rose to the occasion
TOKYO—.Women’s medals made up 58.4% of Team USA’s total of 113 overall, which topped the medal count at the Olympics.
“What an awesome testament to the hard work of these incredible athletes and to those strong women who paved the way before them,” said Sarah Hirshland, chief executive of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee. “We are so proud.” The U.S. women won 23 gold medals to fuel the U.S. gold total of 39—one more than China and the most overall in Tokyo. Much of the world uses the gold-medal ranking as the ultimate measure of Olympic success.
The news on the U.S. men’s side wasn’t nearly as good. Actually, it was abysmal by U.S. Olympic standards.
