The United States, China, Great Britain, and France lead the Gracenote Virtual Medal Table forecast for next month’s Games. China is projected to finish second on total medals but should challenge the United States for first place on gold medals. Gold medals could be significantly down though as the British team is projected to win 14 golds in Paris. Host nation France should sharply increase its overall medal haul in comparison to the 33 total medals won in Tokyo. Australia is expected to be fifth on the total medal table.
