The United States has earned five medals — one gold, two silver and two bronze.
On Saturday, Team USA secured its first gold medal, as the men's 4x100 meter relay team secured the nation's first top-step finish of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Katie Ledecky, the greatest female swimmer in history, added to her remarkable résumé with a bronze medal in the much-anticipated women’s 400-meter freestyle race.
A silver medal finish by Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook in the women's 3-meter synchronized springboard gave Team USA its first medal of the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
