## Answers

### Answer by Harshal Vispute

**The United States leads the way in total Olympic success**, followed by everyone else. \
Across all years of competition, **the United States has won a total of 2,827 medals**. The United States has a number of Olympic records, including the **most gold, silver, and bronze medals** earned individually. The United States has **1,127 gold medals, 907 silver medals, and 793 bronze medals**. The **United Kingdom, which has 883 medals,** is the **second-highest-ranking country in terms of medals** won. **Germany comes in second with 855 points,** just behind the United Kingdom. Then there's **France, with 840 points.**\
\
It's a remarkable achievement for each of these countries, considering that the average number of medals won by participating countries at the **Olympics is around 205.** There are just as many countries that have had modest success at the Olympics as the **United States, the United Kingdom,** and other powerful countries have. \
The United States holds the record for the **most gold medals earned in a single Olympic Games**. The record was set in **Los Angeles in 1984**. **Carl Lewis tied for fourth place with Jesse Owens with four gold medals**, and **Valerie Brisco-Hooks won three gold medals for the United States.** \
T**he USSR had the second-highest number of gold medals at a single Games, with 80 at the tumultuous 1980 Olympics in Moscow. The United States takes third place with 73 gold medals at the 1904 Olympics.**
