About this chart
The United States has led the all-time Summer Olympic medal table since the early Games. The Soviet Union, which competed from 1952 to 1988, climbs remarkably fast for a country that took part in only nine Summer Games.
Totals count gold, silver and bronze from Olympedia, excluding art competitions, and reconcile with its all-time table. Germany follows Olympedia's GER code, so East and West Germany's separate medals from 1968 to 1988 aren't included. Boycotted Games (1980 and 1984) show as flat steps for the countries that stayed home.
