The United States is running away from the competition in the overall medal count, but Team USA is in a closely contested battle with China to top the Olympic gold medal count at the 2024 Paris Games.
Dozens of medals across 17 different sports are up for grabs on Friday, including the highly coveted 4x100-meter relay races, where both the U.S. men's and women's teams are top contenders for gold. The women's team is expected to include 100m silver medalist Sha'Carri Richardson, 200m gold medalist Gabrielle Thomas, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry.
The U.S. men's 4x100-meter relay team will be without Noah Lyles, who said Thursday would "be the end of my 2024 Olympics" after he revealed he was battling COVID-19 during his bronze medal finish in the 200-meter dash.
Here's a look at all the Olympic medals up for grabs on Friday:
