The Americans have a history of dominating in the Summer Games. They tallied a world-best 121 medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics, nearly doubling the total of Great Britain. The United States has tallied the most total medals and the most gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympics dating back to 1996.
