The Summer Olympics is about to kick off as more than 10,000 athletes from across the world compete for gold, including nearly 600 on the U.S. Olympic team.

The games start Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET in Paris and will go until Sunday, Aug. 11. This will be the third time that the French capital has hosted the Summer Games.

Historically, the U.S. has done the best at track and field, swimming, and shooting, with more gold medals in these categories than any other. These are the top 15 sports for the U.S. at the summer Olympics since the first modern Olympic games in 1896.

Olympians come from almost every state in the U.S. this year. However, Colorado, Vermont, and Hawaii have the most Olympians per capita.
