Summer Olympic Games / Medal Tally
Juegos Olímpicos de Verano / Medallero
Total Medals by Country / Medallas por País
ATHENS 1896 - LONDON 2012
There is no official medal tables in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not recognise a global ranking per country. Thus, precise totals by nation are difficult to determine because until 1908 athletes entered the Olympics as individuals rather than as selected members of a national team. In addition, athletes from different nations sometimes joined forces in team sports. Depending on how to account these medals, different tables reach different totals. We display here the table we consider the most accurate, in which medals won as part of mixed teams are counted aside (ZZX) and not included in the totals of each country. This medal table by country reflects all-time Summer Games medal standings, from Athens 1896 to London 2012 (both included). It is based on the number of medals won, with gold medals taking priority over silver and bronze. A team victory counts as one medal. The 1906 Intercalated Games are NOT included, as they are not recognized by the IOC. NOC abbreviations in small letters are national entities that no longer exist.
El número total de medallas de cada nación en los Juegos Olímpicos es difícil de determinar. El Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) no reconoce una clasificación oficial por países. Además, hasta 1908 los atletas acudían en muchos casos en representación de clubes y no de países; por lo que a veces las medallas las ganaban equipos con deportistas de distinta nacionalidad. Hay, por tanto, disparidad de criterios en los medalleros que se han elaborado. Aquí ofrecemos el que consideramos más preciso, en el cual las medallas ganadas por equipos mixtos se cuentan aparte (ZZX) y no se suman a cada uno de los países. Este medallero incluye las tres primeras posiciones de todos los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano, desde Atenas 1896 hasta Londres 2012. Los Juegos Intercalados de 1906 NO están incluídos, puesto que no están oficialmente reconocidos por el COI. Las entidades nacionales que ya no existen tienen su abreviatura en minúscula
