2024 Summer Olympics Betting
The 2024 Summer Olympics, given the title Paris 2024, and also known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Paris, France will be the main host city of the Olympics with another 16 cities across France also hosting events, and there will be one event in Tahiti. Tens of thousands of athletes from around the world will gather in France, and we will likely see over 200 nations represented. Paris previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 1900 and 1924.
France also has held the Winter Olympics a total of three times. The Summer Olympics will be returning to their four-year cycle, as the 2020 Summer Olympics were pushed back a year because of COVID and held in 2021 in Tokyo. There will be a total of 329 events in 32 sports with 28 “core” Olympic sports that were held in 2016 and 2020.

France’s capital became the first city to host the Olympics twice, and they will be hosting the Summer Olympics for the third time in 2024. London and Paris are the only cities that have played host to the Summer Olympics three times. London hosted in 1908, 1948, and 2012, while Paris hosted in 1900, 1924 and 2024. Los Angeles will soon join London and Paris, as they host the Summer Olympics in 2028.

The United States has lapped the field in terms of production at the Summer Olympics. America is the only country with more than 1,000 gold medals, and the defunct Soviet Union is the only other nation with more than 300 gold medal wins. The US currently boasts more than 2,600 total medals, and they have garnered the most medals for seven straight Summer Olympics.
Great Britain was a consistent contender at the early Summer Olympics, and they have been much more competitive in recent years. After grabbing just one gold medal and 15 total medals at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, this nation redoubled its efforts to put athletes on the podium. The UK won the third-most medals at the 2012 London Games and the second-most medals at the 2016 Rio Games. They were third with the most medals won at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Although China did not participate in the Olympics from 1956 to 1980, they have been the biggest threat to the United States at these competitions since the collapse of the Soviet Union. China has finished at least fourth in the medal count at every Summer Olympics since the 1992 Barcelona Games. They had their best performance yet at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 100 medals in their home country.
