Jednoznačně nejúspěšnější zemí v získávání medailí jsou Spojené státy americké, které jich nasbíraly již 2 828, na druhém místě je již neexistující Sovětský svaz. Čeští sportovci sbírali medaile v rámci samostatné České republiky (1993 - dodnes), Československa (1920 - 1992) a Čech (1900 - 1912).
Našim nejúspěšnějším olympijským sportovcem je s přehledem Věra Čáslavská, která získala celkem 11 medailí, z toho sedm zlatých. Pět medailí vybojovali také gymnasta Ladislav Vácha a běžec Emil Zátopek.
