Juegos Olímpicos de Verano / Medallero Individual

TOTAL MEDALS / MEDALLAS TOTALES

This medal tally includes all the men & women who have won at least 5 gold medals in the Summer Olympics in any sport or event from Athens 1896 to Athens 2004 (both included). As everywhere in this site, medals won at the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included, for they are not officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Este medallero incluye todos los deportistas que han ganado al menos 5 medallas de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano en cualquier deporte y prueba desde Atenas 1896 hasta Atenas 2004 (ambas inclusive). Al igual que en todas las secciones de esta página web, no se incluyen los Juegos Intercalados de 1906, puesto que éstos no están oficialmente reconocidos por el Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI).

* According to FINA rules, preliminary swimmers are awarded medals too. Thus, medals won as members of a qualifying race relay team are also included here (between brackets), as in the case of Michael Phelps, Matt Biondi & Amy van Dyken. 

* Según las normas de la FINA, los nadadores de las series clasificatorias también son merecedores de la medalla que gane su país en la final. Por tanto, esas medallas también están incluídas (entre paréntesis), como ocurre con Michael Phelps, Matt Biondi y Amy van Dyken)
