Eternal medal table of the Summer Olympics
So far, a total of 15,685 medals have been awarded in sports competitions at 28 Summer Olympics . 140 different teams were able to win medals. Awards at the art competitions , the mountaineering prize “ Prix olympique d'alpinisme ” and the aeronautical prize “ Prix áeronautique ” are not taken into account. The medals awarded at the Olympic Intermediate Games in 1906 are also not taken into account, as these have not yet been officially recognized by the IOC .
The placements are sorted by the number of gold medals won, followed by the number of silver and bronze medals. If two or more countries have an identical medal balance, they are listed alphabetically according to the IOC abbreviation on the same rank. This corresponds to the system used by the IOC for the medal table for individual Olympic Games. An “eternal” medal table, on the other hand, is not added up by the IOC.
The medal table takes into account the results up to the 2016 Summer Olympics and the changes regarding various withdrawals (until February 2020).
