The sum of three consecutive integers that equals 84 can be found by dividing 84 by 3 to find the middle number, which is 28. Therefore, the three numbers are 27, 28, and 29. Since the U.S. won the most, followed by China, then Romania, the distribution is U.S.: 29 medals, China: 28 medals, Romania: 27 medals.
