All-time Olympic Games medal table

The all-time medal table for all Olympic Games from 1896 to 2026, including Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, and a combined total of both, is tabulated below. These Olympic medal counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as official Games. The IOC itself does not publish all-time tables, and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games. This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database.

The results are attributed to the IOC country code as currently displayed by the IOC database. Usually, a single code corresponds to a single National Olympic Committee (NOC). When different codes are displayed for different years, medal counts are combined in the case of a simple change of IOC code (such as from HOL to NED for the Netherlands) or simple change of country name (such as from Ceylon to Sri Lanka). As the medals are attributed to each NOC, not all totals include medals won by athletes from that country for another NOC, such as before independence of that country. Names in italic are national entities that no longer exist. The totals of NOCs are not combined with those of their predecessors and successors.

List of NOCs with medals (sortable & unranked)

The table is pre-sorted by the name of each Olympic Committee, but can be displayed as sorted by any other column, such as the total number of gold medals or total number of overall medals. To sort by gold, silver, and then bronze, sort first by the bronze column, then the silver, and then the gold. The table does not count revoked medals (e.g., due to doping).

A total of 162 current and historical NOCs have earned at least one medal. Medal totals in this table are current through the 2026 Winter Olympics, and all changes in medal standings and medal redistribution up to 11 August 2024 for the Summer Games and 19 September 2025 for the Winter Games are taken into account.

As of completion of the 2026 Winter Olympics, 12 National Olympic Committees have participated on a standalone basis in all 24 Winter Olympic Games. As of completion of the 2024 Summer Olympics, four National Olympic Committees have participated on a standalone basis in all 30 Summer Olympic Games, with five other NOCs missing a perfect participation record due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. Of the combined 54 Olympic Games, only France, Great Britain and Switzerland have a 100% participation rate.

The sum total of gold, silver, and bronze medals are not equal for the following reasons:

• Some sports (such as boxing, judo, karate, taekwondo, and wrestling) award or have previously awarded two bronze medals per competition.
• Team sports medals, such as in football or basketball count as one, even if there are multiple players on each team, who get a medal.
• Some tied performances have resulted in multiple medals of the same colour being awarded for an event. If this tie is for gold or silver, there will be a consequent absence of a silver or bronze medal for that event.
• Some medals that have been revoked have not been re-awarded.
• Some early events, such as cricket at the 1900 Summer Olympics, had only two entrants.
• Retroactively awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals for the 1896 and 1900 games results in some anomalies, such as the 100 metre freestyle swimming event in 1896 where no surviving records distinguish the places of those who finished between 3rd and 10th position.

List of NOCs without medals (sortable & unranked)

After completion of the 2026 Winter Olympics, 64 of the current 206 National Olympic Committees have yet to win an Olympic medal. Seven historic National Olympic Committees are also included in this list.

List of defunct historical NOCs and special delegations with medals (sortable & unranked)

Defunct historical NOCs with medals

A total of 10 defunct historical NOCs have earned at least one medal.

Special delegations with medals

As of completion of the 2026 Winter Olympics, a total of 10 special delegations have earned at least one medal. Medal totals in this table include the changes in medal standings due to doping cases and medal redistributions adjudicated up to 19 September 2025.

Top ten medal rankings (combined NOCs)

The following is the overall medal tally (top ten nations) with the records of current NOCs combined with those of their precursors (sorted by gold, then silver, then bronze), through 2026.

Special case of Germany

If results for East and West Germany are combined, German athletes also won the most gold medals at the 1976 Summer Olympics and the 1988 Winter Olympics, in place of the Soviet Union.

Variations

Early Olympics

For the 1900 Summer Olympics several countries are credited with appearances that are not considered official by the IOC. Only one of these cases concerns a medal. A gold medal that is officially added to France's total is given to Luxembourg.

Other differences from the official table are based on disagreements about which events were Olympic. This affects several of the events in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics. In addition, some sources include the 1906 Intercalated Games when compiling their medal tables.

Alpinism and aeronautics

From 1924 through 1936, the IOC on several occasions awarded gold medals for feats of alpinism and aeronautics that occurred in the preceding four-year Olympiad. In 1924, 1932 and 1936, gold medals were awarded to 25 mountaineers from six nations for expeditions in the Himalayas and the Matterhorn. In 1936, a gold medal was awarded to Hermann Schreiber of Switzerland for crossing the Alps in a glider in 1935, the first time that had been done. Some sources include these IOC awards of gold medals in the overall count.

Australasia

Australasia was a combined team of athletes from Australia and the Dominion of New Zealand that competed together at the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. When the Olympic Games resumed in 1920 after World War I, the two nations sent separate teams to the Games, and have done so ever since.

British West Indies

The West Indies Federation, also known as the West Indies, the Federation of the West Indies or the West Indian Federation, was a short-lived political union that existed from 3 January 1958 to 31 May 1962. Various islands in the Caribbean that were part of the British Empire, including Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and those on the Leeward and Windward Islands, came together to form the Federation.The expressed intention of the Federation was to create a political unit that would become independent from Britain as a single state Before that could happen, the Federation collapsed due to internal political conflicts over how it would be governed or function viably.

Athletes from the West Indies Federation competed under the name Antilles (ANT), renamed to British West Indies (BWI) by the IOC, at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. Thirteen competitors—two from Barbados, four from Trinidad, and seven from Jamaica—all men, took part in thirteen events in five sports. The short-lived nation only participated at these single Games, as Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago competed independently again in 1964, and Barbados started competing at the 1968 Games.
