Totals for all Summer Olympics through 2004. The Summer Olympic Games are an international multi-sport event held every four years, organised by the International Olympic Committee. ...

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 IAAF and BBC. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is the international governing body for the sport of athletics (known in the US as track and field).

Its membership is 202 National Olympic Committees. ...
