| Meta Title | Summer Olympics: all-time medal table 2024| Statista |
| Meta Description | Which country has won the most Olympic medals of all time? As of 2024, the United States sits at the top of the rankings. |
| Meta Canonical | null |
| Boilerpipe Text | In the history of the Summer Olympics, the United States has been the most successful nation ever, with a combined total of 2,761 medals won across 29 Olympic Games. More than one thousand of these were gold, with almost 900 silver medals, and nearly 800 bronze medals.
Emerging nations
While European and Anglophone nations have
traditionally dominated the medals tables
, recent decades have seen the emergence and increased participation from athletes representing developing nations. One nation in particular has enjoyed a great deal of success in recent years, with China having won over 700 medals in the Summer Olympics, despite only having taken part in 12 Games.
How big of a problem is doping at the Olympics?
In recent history, one of the biggest threats to the reputation of the Olympics has been the issue of doping. On record, the
worst Olympics in terms of medals stripped
came in 2008, when 50 medals in total were lost by disqualified athletes. Meanwhile, Russia ranked as the
country with the highest number of Olympic medals stripped
as of 2025. |

Supplementary notes
Countries are ranked by the number of gold medals won, then silver, then bronze. Where countries have the same number of respective medals they have been displayed alphabetically.
Data shown includes all re-distributed medals as of August 2024.
This data was collected using the official [Olympics website](https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/medals/), as well as a spreadsheet from the Guardian that includes data from 1896-2008 ([available here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc/?key=0AonYZs4MzlZbdHlfd0F1QlAxYjgtOW53ZXNOZ0JzNVE)), [2012](https://www.britannica.com/event/London-2012-Olympic-Games/) and [2016](https://www.britannica.com/event/Rio-de-Janeiro-2016-Olympic-Games/) data was compared with that from Encyclopaedia Britannica, and several news outlets were used to update the table when medals were reassigned (i.e. for doping offenses).
\*No longer exists/competes at the Olympics.
\*\*Includes medals won by the Unified Team in the 1992 Olympics; made up of all athletes from former-Soviet countries, excluding the Baltic States.
\*\*\*Includes medals won by the united German teams of the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics.
\*\*\*\*Medals won by athletes representing Australasia in the 1908 and 1912 Olympics have been redistributed to the athletes' respective country. The gold medal won in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay has been included in both totals, as the team involved athletes from both countries.

# Total number of medals won in the Summer Olympics per country and by color 1896-2024
Published by [Statista Research Department](https://www.statista.com/aboutus/our-research-commitment), Nov 26, 2025
In the history of the Summer Olympics, the United States has been the most successful nation ever, with a combined total of 2,761 medals won across 29 Olympic Games. More than one thousand of these were gold, with almost 900 silver medals, and nearly 800 bronze medals.
## Emerging nations
While European and Anglophone nations have [traditionally dominated the medals tables](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1102148/olympics-medal-progression-by-most-successful-country-since-1896/), recent decades have seen the emergence and increased participation from athletes representing developing nations. One nation in particular has enjoyed a great deal of success in recent years, with China having won over 700 medals in the Summer Olympics, despite only having taken part in 12 Games.
## How big of a problem is doping at the Olympics?
In recent history, one of the biggest threats to the reputation of the Olympics has been the issue of doping. On record, the [worst Olympics in terms of medals stripped](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113135/summer-olympics-stripped-medals-by-year/) came in 2008, when 50 medals in total were lost by disqualified athletes. Meanwhile, Russia ranked as the [country with the highest number of Olympic medals stripped](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113052/summer-olympics-stripped-medals-by-country/) as of 2025.

| Readable Markdown | In the history of the Summer Olympics, the United States has been the most successful nation ever, with a combined total of 2,761 medals won across 29 Olympic Games. More than one thousand of these were gold, with almost 900 silver medals, and nearly 800 bronze medals.
## Emerging nations
While European and Anglophone nations have [traditionally dominated the medals tables](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1102148/olympics-medal-progression-by-most-successful-country-since-1896/), recent decades have seen the emergence and increased participation from athletes representing developing nations. One nation in particular has enjoyed a great deal of success in recent years, with China having won over 700 medals in the Summer Olympics, despite only having taken part in 12 Games.
## How big of a problem is doping at the Olympics?
In recent history, one of the biggest threats to the reputation of the Olympics has been the issue of doping. On record, the [worst Olympics in terms of medals stripped](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113135/summer-olympics-stripped-medals-by-year/) came in 2008, when 50 medals in total were lost by disqualified athletes.
