Summer Olympic Games / All-time Medal Table by Country
ATHENS 1896 - TOKYO 2020
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 Tokyo 2020 (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.
