Winner of the Nations Cup at the Olympic Games

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following statistics show the winning nations at the Summer and Winter Olympics.

Depending on the counting method , it is the nations that have won the most gold medals or the most medals at all .
At the Summer Games in 1896, 1912, 1964 and 2008; as well as at the Winter Games in 1924, 1948, 1980, 1984, 1994, 2002 and 2010, the winning nations of both counting methods were not identical.

Twice there was a change of national winner after the end of the Olympic Games due to subsequent disqualifications.

  • At the 1912 Summer Games in Stockholm , the USA were ahead in both counts, but the disqualification of Jim Thorpe caused them to lose the top spot in terms of medals to Sweden.
  • At the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City , Germany was ahead in both counts. After the disqualification of Johann Mühlegg , who started for Spain, the top place after gold medals went to Norway because two of the gold medals initially awarded to Mühlegg went to second-placed Norwegians.
