In each of the previous two Olympic Games (2012 and 2016), Team USA earned 46 gold medals. Its high-water mark, 83, was reached during the 1984 Olympics, which were held in Los Angeles. Since 1948, the United States has never failed to win at least 32 gold medals. It kept that streak alive in 2021, although it fell short of matching its 2012 and 2016 hauls.
