What sport has the US never won an Olympic medal?

The United States has won medals in the vast majority of Olympic sports due to its large team and long history, but there are a few sports where the US has never won an Olympic medal as of 2024. The most notable example is handball, both indoor team handball which has been an Olympic sport since 1936 for men and 1976 for women. The US men's and women's teams have qualified only a few times and have never finished on the podium, with European countries like France, Denmark, and Germany dominating. Another sport where the US has never medaled is table tennis, which became Olympic in 1988 and has been dominated almost entirely by China, Japan, and South Korea. The US has also never won a medal in badminton, which became Olympic in 1992 and is dominated by China, Indonesia, and Denmark. In winter sports, the US has never won a medal in biathlon, which combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting and is dominated by Norway, Germany, and France, despite participating since 1960. The US also struggled for many years in men's soccer, though the women's team has won multiple golds. These gaps are often due to limited grassroots participation in the US compared to Europe and Asia where those sports are more popular and have stronger development systems.
