Brazil Ends Paris 2024 Olympics with 20 Medals, Its Second-Best Performance Yet
Brazil concluded its participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics on Saturday, August 10, securing a total of 20 medals: 3 gold, 7 silver, and 10 bronze.
Although this fell short of the 21 medals won in Tokyo 2020, it remains Brazil’s second-highest total in Olympic history.
In Tokyo, Brazil’s most successful Olympic appearance, the nation claimed seven golds, six silvers, and eight bronzes.
Rio 2016 saw Brazil win 19 medals, with the same number of golds and silvers as in Tokyo but two fewer bronzes.
Brazil’s history in the Olympics has seen various highs and lows. Over its 24 Olympic appearances, Brazil has failed to win gold in ten editions, including Paris 1924, Los Angeles 1932, and Sydney 2000.
However, the 2024 Games marked a historic moment for Brazil. The Brazilian delegation, for the first time, included more women than men.
Remarkably, Brazilian women athletes secured more medals than their male counterparts—12 out of 20, including one in a mixed judo event.
