We're keeping track of the medal count for Team LGBTI, as though they were competing together as a country. We are counting anyone who is out publicly, or comes out publicly during the Games, as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex.
In 2012, about 40% of the publicly out LGBTI athletes won medals, as Team LGBTI did very well for itself at the Summer Olympics in London.
With so many athletes participating in track & field, soccer and basketball, the final medal count will be expected to increase in week two of the Olympic Games. Still, our athletes are holding their own early on.
