Team USA Wins Most Medals — Including Golds — at Tokyo Olympics
MARTIN SCHWARTZ/PEOPLE
The medals race has come to a close.
Team USA got off to a slow start during the Tokyo Summer Olympics, competing in five of the seven available events on the first day, but winning zero medals. It marked the United States' worst start to the Summer Games since the 1972 Munich Games.
After the unusual start, things turned the following morning, with America picking up its first medals early on day two thanks to swimmers Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland — who won gold and silver, respectively, in the men's 400m individual medley.
