The winning battle extended Team USA's rule on the overall Medals graph to six straight Games, going back to 1996. By and large, 213 American competitors added to the award number, including 32 various medalists and 13 who won numerous gold Medals.

For the second straight Olympics, Great Britain finished second with 67 medals (27 gold medals), ahead of China, which completed the Games with 70 medals but 27 gold medals to rank third among all nations.
