Eternal medal table of the Olympic Games

So far, a total of 18,855 medals have been awarded in sports competitions at 51 Olympic Games . 141 different teams were able to win medals. Liechtenstein is the only team that could only win medals in winter. Awards at the art competitions , the mountaineering prize “ Prix ​​olympique d'alpinisme ” and the aeronautical prize 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.

Gold medals have not yet been awarded at the Olympic Games in 1896 and 1900. The winners received a silver medal, the second-placed bronze. The third did not receive a medal. In this overview, the placements according to today's medal distribution are taken into account. The medal table takes into account the results up to the Olympic Winter Games 2018 and the changes regarding various withdrawals (until February 2020).
