Notably, most of those medals were won in women's events. In the end, more than half of all medals earned for the U.S. were in women's events: 69 of the 126 medals won by the United States were won by women. Team USA also earned six medals in mixed events.

(This total does not include the stripped bronze medal for Jordan Chiles on floor, which USA Gymnastics is fighting to get back.)

In terms of gold medals, the women of Team USA dominated there too: 26 of the 40 total gold medals were in women's events, with female athletes earning 65% of the U.S.' golds.

The success of these Games follows up similar success at the Tokyo Olympics, where Team USA women earned 66, a then-record number, of the United States' 113 total medals.

In Paris, 13 Team USA athletes won multiple gold medals; 10 of those — including Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, Gabby Thomas and other big names in Team USA — were women.

Women won the first medal of the competition, with Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon earning silver in women's 3-meter synchronized diving to kick things off, and the last, with USA women's basketball fighting to take gold against France.

With such a dominant performance from the women of Team USA, it's worth taking the time to honor them. Here is a list of every woman who won gold for the United States in Paris.
