In some cases, a NOC may garner multiple medals in the same edition where it won its first ever Olympic medal. Scheduling of events is a factor that plays a part in who is considered the first Olympic medalist for a NOC.

First medalists by NOC at the Summer Olympic Games
↑ The delegation was banned from using the Olympic flag and Olympic anthem, which was the usual custom for neutral designated athletes in previous games. They instead used a teal flag depicting a circular AIN emblem and a one-off instrumental anthem, both assigned by the IOC.[6][7][8] Individual neutral athletes had to be first background checked and then approved by each sport's international federation, and then by a special panel created by the IOC.[9] Due to the AIN participating as a neutral team under certain conditions, the delegation did not march the parade of nations during the opening ceremony and did not receive an official ranking in the medal tables.[7] Medals won under this designation were not added to the countries' overall totals.[10]
↑ Hedwig Rosenbaum won bronze in both the women's tennis singles and tennis mixed doubles events. However, medals awarded to mixed teams were not split between NOCs, but were instead attributed to a mixed team.[22] As such, the women's tennis singles event is credited as Bohemia's first Olympic medal.
1 2 Despite previously competing at the Olympics since 1900, Russia previously competed as the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, and their medal totals are treated entirely separately.
1 2 On February 19, 2021, the IOC announced that Russian athletes would compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia) and 2022 Winter Olympics under the acronym "ROC", which was the IOC designation of Russian athletes permitted to participate. The designation was instigated following the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee after the Russian state-sponsored doping scandal. The name of the committee itself in full could not be used to refer to the delegation.[153]
↑ The rules at the time allowed teams to participate with either four or five man teams in the Bobsleigh event at the 1924 Winter Games.[161]
↑ John Kah, who was a reserve member of the team, did not receive a medal.[172]
