Japan has set its sights on 20 gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which opens next month.

According to the Yomiuri Shimbun and Jiji News Agency, Japanese team leader Mitsugi Ogata recently said, “We have set our goal for the Paris Olympics as 20 gold medals.”

Japan won 27 gold medals at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics held in the country. It was Japan’s best performance in Olympic history.

If they win 20, they will have the second-highest number of gold medals ever.

The most gold medals Japan has won at an Olympics held overseas was at the 2004 Athens Games, when they collected 37 medals, including 16 gold. 파워볼사이트
