Olympics2024: Africa Missing Among Top 30 Countries

Paris 2024

Africa is the only continent not in the top 30 of the Paris2024 Olympics medals table.

While countries like the United States of America already shine with 86 medals, no African country was represented in the top 30 so far.

Kenya, known for having incredible athletes is the best African country so far, ranking 33rd with 4 medals.

Kenya has 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals. But even Kenya is not doing as well as countries from other continents.

Other African countries including Nigeria are doing worse in the Olympics and hence far below in the medal ranking list.

This is as individuals of African birth have nationalized and won medals for countries in other continents after they received zero support from the governments of their countries in Africa.
