After a little more than two weeks of unforgettable sports moments, victories and defeats, the story of the most successful nation of the Olympic Games in Paris was decided by the last event - the match for the gold of basketball players.
In the end, the United States of America defeated the host France (67:66) in a dramatic match and brought their country the 40th gold medal from the 33rd Games.
Everything was waiting for China, which already had 40 of the best medals, but also less silver and bronze medals, so after the match in Lille, its athletes had to settle for second place overall in Paris.
In the end, the United States of America won a total of 126 medals (40 gold, 44 silver and 42 bronze), while China stopped at 91 (40-27-24)...
The third place went to Japan (20 gold, 12 silver and 13 bronze), the fourth was Australia (18-19-16), and the fifth was the host France (16-26-22)...
Montenegro is behind the worst Olympic Games since the restoration of independence, and in addition to our athletes from the territory of the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia also remained without medals.
Serbia won three gold and one silver and one bronze medal each, Croatia has two gold and silver and three bronze medals, Slovenia two gold and one silver, and Kosovo one silver and one bronze medal.
The closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is scheduled for tonight at 21:XNUMX at the Stade de France.
