How many medals will be handedout in the 2012 olyimpics?

Answer 1

There are 302 events at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Thus 302 gold and 302 silver will be won but some sports award two bronze medals.

These sports are boxing, judo, Taekwondo and Wrestling. With 51 events contested in these four sports, 353 bronze medals will be handed out.

Answer 2

There were 302 Gold Medals 304 Silver Medals and 356 Bronze medals for a total of 962 medals.

Note the 962 count is the medal count by country not for individual athletes so the total number of medals is much larger because many events (e.g. Football/soccer, Archery, etc.) are team events and the entire team got medals.

Total of 4,700 gold, silver and bronze medals were produced for the London 2012 Olympics.

Answer 3

About 3,000 in total.
