Paris Summer Olympics 2024 Medal Count: Live Updates

While there are an overwhelming number of sports and athletes to follow along with, a sweeping glance at the Games brings us back to the core of it all: medals.

For almost all events, gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to the winner, runner-up and the second runner-up, respectively. Two bronze medals are awards in boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling. Medals have been awarded since 1896, and the 1904 Games in St. Louis were the first games to feature the now-colloquial gold, silver, bronze hierarchy.

One note: Team sports do not multiply the count of total medals. Those still count as just one medal.

This list will update periodically throughout the games.

China is unable to save Malaysia which is corrupt and pro-Bumiputera - UM Researcher

KUALA LUMPUR: An Associate Researcher at the Institute of China Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Universiti Malaya described Malaysia as being in a dire situation for failing to end pro-Bumiputera policies and rampant corruption.


Writing in the South China Morning Post in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of China-Malaysia relations, Dr Michael Tai described China's investment will not cure the cancer that plagues Malaysia's economy.


"Malaysia's problems stem from corruption and poor governance, which are closely related to race-based privilege. Outsiders are in no position to fix it.


"Malaysia's progress continues to be hindered by affirmative action programs that give priority to the Malay majority over the Chinese and Indian minorities," added the Universiti Malaya Associate Researcher.


"This policy was supposed to end after 20 years but was replaced by the National Development Policy, which maintains the privileges of the bumiputra; the Malays regard it as a right," added Tai.


According to Tai, the pro-Bumiputera policy has also created an extreme state of corruption.


"Systemic corruption is so entrenched, that it is almost impossible to eradicate it without eradicating race-based privilege. In the last five years, the government has lost approximately US$59 billion to corruption, which Anwar considers a "major cancer" that weakens the economy, erodes morale,  and reduce confidence," Tai wrote again.


He also cited former Minister's view Trade and Industry (MITI), Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz who expressed regret at the "puzzling" loss of integrity so that no sector of society was spared from the "toxic abuse of power."


Tai also questioned the dependence on China which may not be as good as expected.


"Malaysia strives to capture that part of the supply chain is said to have left China due to the trade war.  But that hope may be in vain.  Although China has moved up the value chain, it remains competitive in low-value sectors.  It enjoys many advantages in terms of size, productivity, infrastructure quality, and industrial ecosystem.


According to Tai again, it is very difficult to compete with Chinese factories in terms of speed, cost, or quality, and it does not make sense for them to outsource or move to countries that lack skilled manpower.  Chinese entrepreneurs go where they can make a reasonable profit.


For Tai, the problem of Malaysia's nation building stems from poor governance and outsiders are not in a position to improve it.a tidak mampu selamatkan Malaysia yang korup dan pro-Bumiputera – Penyelidik UM
