1908 Summer Olympics medal table
The 1908 Summer Olympics were held from April 27 through October 31, 1908 in London, England simultaneous with the Franco-British Exhibition. A total of 2,008 athletes representing 22 nations participated in 110 events in 18 sports at these games. Diving, field hockey, and figure skating were contested for the first time at these games.[3] 19 of the 22 participating nations earned medals. Three nations that participated, Argentina, Switzerland and Turkey, received no medals. The host nation the United Kingdom dominated the medal count, winning the most gold (56), silver (51), and bronze (39) medals, and therefore winning the most medals overall (146).[4]
Australasia, consisting of athletes from Australia and New Zealand, competed as a combined team at the 1908 Olympics. In addition, the team from Great Britain included a number of athletes from Ireland, at the time part of the United Kingdom. However Finland, which was at the time part of the Russian Empire, competed as a separate country during these games.[5]
Medal table
This is the full table of the medal count of the 1908 Summer Olympics, based on the medal count of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[a] These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC.[4]
