[1] [2] [3] [4] 11,238 athletes representing 207 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated, including first-time entrants Kosovo, South Sudan, and the Refugee Olympic Team. [3] The games featured 306 events in 28 sports and 41 disciplines. [3] [5] The 2016 Summer Games were the first Olympics to be held in South America. [6]

Athletes representing 87 NOCs received at least one medal, breaking the record of most NOCs winning a medal at a single edition of the Olympics. [7] [A] Athletes from 59 nations earned gold medals at these games, also breaking the record for the most nations winning gold at a single games. [12] Bahrain, [13] [B] Fiji, [16] Ivory Coast, [17] Jordan, [18] Kosovo, [19] Puerto Rico, [20] Singapore, [21] Tajikistan, [22] and Vietnam won their first Olympic gold medals. [23] They were also the first Olympic medals of any kind for Fiji, Jordan, and Kosovo. [16] [18] [19] Kuwaiti shooter Fehaid Al-Deehani became the first independent athlete to win a gold medal. [24]

The United States led the medal table both in number of gold medals won and in overall medals, winning 46 and 121 respectively. [25] American swimmer Michael Phelps won the most gold medals at the games with five and the most total medals with six (five gold, one silver). [26] This marked the fourth consecutive Summer Olympic Games in which Phelps led all athletes in gold and total medals. [27] [28] [29]

Medals

The 2016 Olympic medals were the largest diameter of any medals presented at the Olympics up to this point. The golds were purer than any presented at all preceding Olympics. The silvers were made from recycling mirrors, solder, and X-ray plates. Just under half of the copper used in the bronze medals was recycled from normal operations at the Brazilian Mint. The reverse of the medals features Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. [30]

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. [31] [32] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code. [33]

Events in boxing result in a bronze medal being awarded to each of the two competitors who lose their semi-final matches, as opposed to them fighting in a third place tie breaker. [34] Other combat sports, which include, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, use a repechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded. [35]

Two gold medals and no silver medals were awarded due to a first-place tie in the women's 100 metre freestyle swimming event, [36] while three silver medals and no bronze medals were awarded due to a second-place tie in the men's 100 metre butterfly swimming event. [37] Additionally, two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the women's 100 metre backstroke swimming and in the men's K-1 200 metres canoeing events. [38] [39]

Nijat Rahimov of Kazakhstan originally won the gold medal in men's 77 kg weightlifting but was disqualified in March 2022 by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for doping violations. [40] [41] As of July 2024, the medals have not yet been re-allocated and will not be until final rulings by the IOC have been issued. [42]

Notes

  1. ↑ Following reallocation due to doping sanctions, an 87th country was later awarded a medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics, tying the record. [8] The total count of NOCs to win a medal at the 2016 games later became 86 after Moldova's Serghei Tarnovschi was stripped of his bronze medal, the country's only medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. [9] [10] This caused the record to be held solely by the 2008 games until it was broken at the 2020 Summer Olympics. [11]
  2. ↑ Bahrain was retroactively awarded a gold medal in 2021 for the 2012 Summer Olympics due to a medal reallocation of the women's 1500 metres race. Maryam Yusuf Jamal had originally finished third. [14] [15]
  3. ↑ Figures in table reflect all official changes in medal standings.
  4. ↑ The Independent Olympic Athletes team was composed of nine Kuwaiti athletes competing under the Olympic flag, as the Kuwait Olympic Committee had been suspended by the IOC due to political interference. [44] [45] [46] While the Refugee Olympic Team also competed under the Olympic flag, they were not considered independent. [47]
