STATISTICS MEN
The Men's Olympic Program has remained mostly unchanging since 1968, with the only addition of the 50 FS in 1988, and the 800 FS in 2020. Between 1896 and 1920, some "weird" events as 100 meters for sailors or underwater swimming were also held. The discontinued events make a total of 10 (not included in the table below); of which Germany won 4 gold medals; and GRE, GBR, SWE, AUS, FRA & USA made 1 each. Since 2020, the 4x100 mixed medley relay is also contested (also not included in the tables below).

* According to FINA rules, preliminary swimmers are awarded medals too. Thus, medals won as members of a qualifying race relay team are included (between brackets).
* Phelps became the first male swimmer to win the same individual event three times. He achieved this feat in two events (100BF & 200 MD). Matt Biondi and Tom Jagger (USA) were in the American 4x100 FS relay team in 1984, 1988 & 1992 (3 golds). Phelps & Lochte won the 4x200 in 2004, 2008 & 2012. Finally, Phelps also won the 4x100MD three times.
* Don Schollander also swom the 4x100 and 4x100 MD preliminaries in 1968 but (unaccountedly), unlike Jagger or Biondi, they are not added to the official counting.
