All-time Olympic Games medal table

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The silver medal was awarded to the winner of each event during the 1896 Summer Olympics. The current system of gold, silver, and bronze medals was not implemented until the 1912 Olympic Games

An all-time medal table for all Olympic Games from 1896 to 2012, including Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, and a combined total of both, is tabulated below. These Olympic medals counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as official Games. The IOC itself does not publish all-time tables, and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games. This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database.[1]

The results are attributed to the IOC country code as currently displayed by the IOC database. Usually, a single code corresponds to a single National Olympic Committee (NOC). When different codes are displayed for different years, medal counts are combined in the case of a simple change of IOC code (such as from HOL to NED for the Netherlands) or simple change of country name (such as from Ceylon to Sri Lanka). As the medals are attributed to each NOC, not all totals include medals won by athletes from that country for another NOC, such as before independence of that country (see individual footnotes for special cases such as combined teams). Names in italic are national entities that no longer exist.

NOCs with medals [edit]

The table is pre-sorted by the name of each Olympic Committee, but can be displayed as sorted by any other column, such as the total number of gold medals or total number of overall medals. To sort by gold, silver, and then bronze, sort first by the bronze column, then the silver, and then the gold. The table does not include the medals revoked (e.g., due to doping, etc.). Medal totals in this table are current as of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, and all changes in medal standings due to doping cases till to 5 March 2013 are taken into account.

Variations [edit]

The sections above are based on information published by the International Olympic Committee. Various sources deal with some of the entries in the preceding sections differently.

Early Olympics [edit]

For the 1900 Summer Olympics several countries are credited with appearances that are not considered official by the IOC. Only one of these cases concerns a medal. A gold medal that is officially added to France's total is given to Luxembourg.[2]

Similar cases of disputed nationality affect the 1904 Summer Olympics. France is credited with a silver medal[3] and Norway with two gold medals.[4] In the table above these medals are listed under the United States. Furthermore, Newfoundland is occasionally listed as a separate country at the 1904 Olympics, and would be listed as an historical NOC without medals.[5]

Other differences from the official table are based on disagreements about which events were Olympic.This affects several of the events in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics. In addition, some sources include the 1906 Intercalated Games when compiling their medal tables.[6]

Germany [edit]

Germany has competed under five different designations, including as two separate teams at several Games. Sources vary in how they present the medals won by these teams. The table below shows sourced combinations of these teams, when applied to the updated medal totals from the main table.

Combined IOC codes № Games 1 2 3 Combined total
 Germany (GER)[7] 25 244 254 265 763
 Germany (GER) (EUA)[8] 31 280 314 306 900
 Germany (GER) (EUA) (FRG)[9] 42 347 396 400 1143
 Germany (GER) (EUA) (FRG) (GDR)[10] 53[11] 539 561 562 1662

Russia and the Soviet Union [edit]

The Russian Federation and the Russian Empire are often combined outside of IOC sources. The Soviet Union is combined with the post-union team that competed in 1992. Some sources combine the Soviet Union and Russia.

Combined IOC codes № Games 1 2 3 Combined total
 Russia (RUS)[12] 10 169 151 169 489
 Russia (RUS) (RU1)[13] 13 170 155 172 497
 Soviet Union (URS)[14] 18 473 376 355 1204
 Soviet Union (URS) (EUN)[15] 20 527 420 392 1339
 Russia (RUS) (RU1)  Soviet Union (URS) (EUN)[16] 33 697 575 564 1836

Notes [edit]

Obsolete nations notes [edit]

  • ANZ => AUS , NZL Australasia (ANZ) was the combined team of athletes from Australia (AUS) and New Zealand (NZL) that competed together at the 1908 and 1912 Games. Totals of these teams are not combined.
  • BOH => TCH => CZE , SVK Bohemia (BOH) competed 1900–1912. Czechoslovakia (TCH) competed 1920–1992. Totals not combined with those of Czech Republic (CZE) or Slovakia (SVK) (1994–current).

  • SAA , EUA , GDR , FRG => GER Germany (GER) competed 1896–1952 and from 1992. Due the partition of Germany after World War II, Germany was represented by two teams at the 1952 Games — Germany and the Saar (SAA). The Saar was reintegrated back into the Federal Republic of Germany in 1956, and Saar athletes then competed for Germany. East Germany did not contribute athletes to the 1952 team, as the National Olympic Committee for the German Democratic Republic was only granted "provisional" recognition by the IOC in 1955. For the Games of 1956–1964, Germany participated as a Unified Team (EUA), representing the National Olympic Committees of both West Germany and East Germany. Retrospectively, the IOC uses the country code EUA for this team. After the NOC for the German Democratic Republic was granted full recognition by the IOC in 1968, East Germany (GDR) and West Germany (FRG) competed as an independent teams at the 1968-1988 Games. Totals of Saar (SAA, 1952), Unified Team of Germany (EUA, 1956-1964), West Germany (FRG, 1968–1988), or East Germany (GDR, 1968-1988) not combined with those of Germany (GER).
  • MAL , NBO => MAS Malaya (MAL) competed at the 1956 and 1960 Games, North Borneo (NBO) competed at the 1956 Games as independent teams prior to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia (MAS) in 1963. Their totals not combined with those of Malaysia.
  • AHO Competed 1952–2008. Totals not combined with those of Netherlands (NED).
