The 2016 Summer Olympic Games begin on Friday, and the United States are predicted to top the medal table once more with China and Russia close behind Team USA.
Statistics site Gracenote Sports currently projects 41 gold medals for the Stars and Stripes, with China second on 31 and Russia trailing in third on 20 golds.
Russia's predicted haul could yet change as a number of their athletes battle to participate in Rio, as reported by BBC Sport.
The Americans arrive in Brazil with a confident and powerful squad across all disciplines, and they will be hoping to improve on their performance in London four years ago.
