Supplementary notes

This data was collected using the official Olympics site, as well as a spreadsheet from the Guardian that includes data from 1896-2008 (). Meanwhile, and 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 from the Unified Team in the 1992 Olympics; made up of all athletes from former-Soviet countries, excluding the Baltic States. Does not include medals won by Russia or the Russian Empire, whose medals are included in separate entries. The combined total of Russia, the Russian Empire and Soviet Union is 1,556 medals (589 gold, 486 silver and 481 bronze).

****Includes medals from the united German teams of the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics, but does not include medals from East Germany or West Germany, whose medals are included in separate entries. The combined total of Germany, East Germany and West Germany is 1,346 medals (428 gold, 444 silver and 474 bronze).

When the all-time Summer Olympic medal table is re-organized to show the average number of medals per tournament, the most successful team as of 2024 was the Soviet Union, who won an average of 112 medals per Olympic Games. The Soviet Union also has the highest number of each medal, with 44 golds, 36 silver and 33 bronze medals. The leaders of the overall medal table, the United States, were in second place, with just over 95 medals per tournament. However, the U.S. team competed in 29 out of 30 Olympic Games as of 2024, while the Soviet Union competed in just 10 Olympic Games (including the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, where athletes from ex-Soviet nations participated as one Unified Team).
