Outsports is reporting Team LGBT finished the 2024 Paris Olympics in 7th place in the total medal count with 42 total medals, by far the most ever won by the collective Team. That’s ahead of every single country that criminalizes being gay, and it’s not far behind Japan’s 45 medals.
Outsports tracks all of the publicly out LGBTQ athletes together as Team LGBTQ, as though the out athletes made up a country’s team of their own. At the Tokyo Olympics, the 186 out LGBTQ athletes would have finished seventh overall in the medal count, if they were their own country.
The medal count for Team LGBTQ is currently 5 gold, 10 silver and 7.
