All medals won by Team USA’s Black Olympics in Paris

Olympic athletes work their whole lives for a moment that could last seconds, maybe minutes. While everyone is representing their country, Black athletes represent an entire culture. In some sports, they’re the only Black competitors. And the lucky few who make it to the podium can be the first to make history. From household names in nonstop commercials leading up to the Games to athletes you’re hearing about for the first time, it’s been a successful Summer Olympics for Black stars. We celebrate their excellence with a roundup of the Black Olympians who won medals for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
