The Olympics are not won by a country. Each event is one by an individual athlete from a country. (So a country's athlete could be said to win ONE of the events at a time).

However, some people like to add up the medals awarded on a country by country basis and the UK has only lead this medal table league once, in 1908.

Obviously some countries have more people than others, and some countries coach/provide for their athletes. Thus the comparison is neither meaningful or fair.
