Summer Olympic Games / Medal Tally

Juegos Olímpicos de Verano / Medallero

TOTAL MEDALS BY COUNTRY / MEDALLAS POR PAÍS

ATHENS 1896 - ATHENS 2004

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 (www.olympiastatistik.de/), as it tries to bring the differences of the data of different sources into harmony, and you can track where every single medal comes from. This medal table by country reflects all-time Summer Games medal standings, from Athens 1896 to Athens 2004 (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.

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 (www.olympiastatistik.de/), y en el que además se puede consultar el origen de todas y cada una de las medallas reflejadas. Los Juegos Intercalados de 1906 NO están incluídos, puesto que no están oficialmente reconocidos por el COI.

NOTES / NOTAS

    *Bohemia (Czech. Cechy), historical region of central Europe and former kingdom, forming roughly the westernmost two-thirds of what is now the Czech Republic. With the collapse of that empire after World War I and the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, Bohemia became a province of the new republic. Bohemia became part of the independent Czech Republic as of January 1, 1993.
    *United Arab Republic: Pursuing his dream of Arab unity, Egypt´s Prime Minister Gamal Abdel Nasser effected in 1958 a union between Egypt and Syria under the name of the United Arab Republic. Although it lasted only three years before the Syrians rebelled and reaffirmed their independence, Egypt retained the official name of the republic for many years afterward.
    *Antilles The islands of the West Indies except for the Bahamas, separating the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic, and divided into the Greater Antilles to the North, and the Lesser Antilles to the East.
    * 1992 EUN (Unified Team 45 gold / 38 silver / 29 bronze) included as URS (Soviet Union)
    * 1992 IOP (Independent Olympic Participants 0 gold / 1 silver / 2 bronze) included as YUG (Yugoslavia).
 
    *Bohemia (Czech. Cechy), región histórica de Europa central y antiguo reino que ocupaba unos dos tercios de la actual República Checa. Con la caída del Imperio tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, Bohemia pasó a formar parte de la recién creada Checoslovaquia (1918) y, tras la división de ésta en 1993, se convirtió en parte de la República Checa.
    *Republica Árabe Unida: En 1958 Siria y Egipto se unieron para formar la República Árabe Unida. La unión duró sólo tres años, ya que Siria se declaró independiente de Egipto tras el golpe militar de 1961.
    *Antillas: Las Antillas estaban formadas por las islas de las Indias Occidentales que separan el caribe del Atlántico, salvo Bahamas.
    * 1992 EUN (Equipo Unificado 45 oros / 38 platas / 29 bronces) incluído como URS (Unión Soviética).
    * 1992 IOP (Participantes Olímpicos Independientes 0 oros / 1 plata / 2 bronces) incluído como YUG (Yugoslavia).
