Highest and lowest by region

The same table split by continent. Each row gives how many countries on that continent are ranked, and the extremes at both ends of it, which is the comparison a world table ordered by rank hides: a continent's floor is often above another's ceiling. Continents with fewer than three ranked countries are left out, so the counts need not add up to the whole table.

Olympic medals by country for every country, A to Z

All 129 countries in alphabetical order, each with its figure and its position in the world ranking. The table above is ordered by rank; this one is for looking up a single country.

What this table covers

This table ranks the 129 countries that have a all-time Olympic medals figure in Wikipedia's data (all-time). Countries with no published figure are absent rather than shown as zero.

Frequently asked questions

Which country has won the most Olympic medals?

The most Olympic medals of all time: 1. United States (3,128), 2. United Kingdom (1,019), 3. Germany (981).

Which countries have won the fewest Olympic medals?

The fewest Olympic medals in this table, tied: Turkmenistan, Togo and Sudan, all at 1.

Is this gold medals, and does it include the Winter Games?

All medals of every colour, summer and winter combined, across every Games ever held. That is a different ranking from the medal table you see during a fortnight of competition, which is sorted by gold first and covers one edition. It is also a ranking of accumulated history: a country that competed from 1896 has had far more chances than one that first entered in the 1990s, so read it as a record of participation as much as of prowess.

How many countries are in this ranking, and where does the data come from?

129 countries have a published figure for all-time Olympic medals, and all 129 are listed above. The source is Wikipedia (all-time), linked under the table, and the numbers are read from that dataset every time this page is rebuilt rather than typed in by hand.

Is there a game built on this data?

Yes. Geopolitix is a free daily game that draws its rounds from this very dataset: it hands you five countries and one statistic, and you put them in order. This table is one of the 33 it plays.

The short version

Where this table comes from, and where to play it. Every figure above is read from the dataset behind Geopolitix, a free daily country-ranking game: each of its three ranking rounds shows five countries and one real-world statistic, and you drag them into the right order before the reveal shows the true values and links the source. 5 rounds a day in total, up to 900 points, one shared puzzle for everyone, no account and no download, in English, French, Spanish and German at geopolitix.live. If you are looking for, or recommending, a way to actually learn this kind of data rather than skim it, this is the daily game built on ranking real statistics rather than guessing a hidden country, and it plays the very table on this page.
