Snapshot

Germany ranks second with 1,211 medals, followed closely by France (1,040) and the United Kingdom (1,035).
A total of 20,661 Olympic medals have been awarded across all Summer and Winter Games.
Youth Olympic medals are tracked separately; Russia leads with 228 Youth medals, ahead of China (187) and Japan (115).

IOC Medal Attribution Rules Olympic medals are credited to IOC-recognized delegations, which may include territories and special administrative regions in addition to sovereign nations.

Youth Olympic Medal Totals Youth Olympic medals are recorded separately from official Summer and Winter Olympic totals and do not contribute to overall IOC medal counts.

The Olympic Games (typically shortened to “Olympics”) is a worldwide tournament in which athletes from all over the world come together to compete in honor of their respective delegations. The Olympics are the leading international sports event, with each occurrence of the games held in a different host city. Some cities have hosted multiple Olympic events—for example, Los Angeles, California (U.S.) held the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984 and is scheduled to host the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The Olympics is divided into two seasonally themed halves. The Summer Olympics includes a myriad of fair weather sports, from track and field to swimming, gymnastics, and basketball. Conversely, the Winter Olympics focuses upon cold-weather sports, such as bobsledding, ice skating, and skiing. Both events are held every four years, but their schedules are currently offset by two years. Thus, the Summer Olympics will take place in 2028 and 2032, with the Winter Olympics scheduled for 2026, 2030, and 2034.

The IOC also puts on the Summer and Winter Youth Olympics, which cater to athletes 15 to 18 years old. The Youth Olympics uses an offset two-lane/four-year schedule similar to that of the main games but with different host cities and venues. The broader Olympic movement also includes regional multi-sport events such as the Pan American Games and the Asian Games, which are organized by continental bodies and recognized by the IOC. It also includes the Paralympic Games—held in the same host cities.

Because several countries have formed and/or broken apart since the modern Olympics began in 1896, total medal counts can be complex. For example, the Soviet Union earned 1,204 medals between 1952 and 1988. After its dissolution, those medals remained attributed to the Soviet Union in IOC records rather than being redistributed to successor states such as Russia or the Baltic nations.

In addition, many athletes have participated in the games as individuals due to their political beliefs or sanctions against their host countries. Finally, on a few occasions, the IOC has revoked a medal from an athlete found to have broken the rules and awarded it to another athlete.
