1896 Summer Olympics medal count
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the full table of the medal count of the 1896 Summer Olympics. These rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.
In the early Olympic Games, several team events were contested by athletes from multiple nations. Retroactively, the IOC has created a mixed team (with the country code ZZX) to refer to these athletes. Curiously, some athletes won medals both individually and as part of a mixed team, so these medals are tabulated under different nations in the official counts.
(Host country is highlighted, greatest number of medals in each category is in bold.)
