The Women’s Medal Tally following Day 7 of the 2024 Paris Olympics

Australia isn’t just holding on to the lead spot on the Women’s Medal Tally, it remains well in the lead following two gold medal additions on Day 7 of the Paris Olympics.

The first gold medal went to Kaylee McKeown, who won the 200m backstroke with an Olympic record and became the first Australian to win four individual gold medals.

Less than an hour later, Saya Sakakibara delivered a win in the BMX racing that marks one of the most inspiring stories of resilience in the games.

Ten of Australia’s eleven gold medals won so far have been won by women, with Cam McEvoy breaking the drought for men with a stunning victory in the 50m freestyle dash.

On day seven of the games, two gold medals went to women from Great Britain and two again to the Netherlands. North Korea also added medals, including gold in the mixed double archery. Czechia joins the medal tally, thanks to gold in the mixed doubles, while Brazil secured gold in the Judo +78kg, Switzerland in the 50m rifle shooting and China in the mixed doubles badminton.

The Women’s Medal Tally offers a twist on the standard country medal tallies shared during the Olympics. On the general tally, Australia is ranked fourth with China in first place, followed by the USA.

The Women’s Medal Tally is presented by Women’s Agenda to offer a different take on the standard medal tallies shared during the Olympics. It calculates all medals won by women across the team and individual women’s events as well as the mixed-gender events.

With this tally, we’re not only learning more about the unique stories of women winning medals, including so far women from Ukraine and Kosovo, but we also hope to highlight differences in how countries are faring when it comes to the general medal count and the women’s medal county.

The tally is updated daily, and features permanently here and below.
