Naciones con más medallas en Olímpicos de Verano

By Chris Dinsdale

July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021 - Los Juegos Olímpicos modernos iniciaron en 1896, la tradición de premiar con medallas de oro, plata y bronce comenzó en los Juegos de 1904. Los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano, pospuestos un año debido a la pandemia de coronavirus, se realizan en Tokio.

In 2016, at the Rio Olympics, the United States topped the medal table with 46 gold medals, 37 silver and 38 bronze for a total of 121 awards. Followed by Great Britain in second place (27 gold) -- the first country to increase its medal tally at the summer Games immediately following one it hosted -- and China third with 26 gold medals.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games medals are made from recycled small electronic devices, gathered over a two year period from April 2017 to March 2019.

Graphic designer Junichi Kawanishi won a nationwide competition to design the medals which he says symbolise the energy of athletes, the diversity of the games, and the warm glow of friendship.
