i not shore but i think the 50th is
Each country awarded it's own medals. The list depends on what country you are referring to.
i think they are awarded for each medal... i think they are awarded for each medal...
Olympic medals are awarded in a ceremony following the completion of each event, immediately following the certification of the results by the judges.
As far as I know, when a sport is a "demonstration sport" medals are awarded by the International Federation governing that sport, and not by International Olympic Committee (IOC). A demonstration sport has not yet achieved "full medal" status, therefore the athletes are not competing for official Olympic medals. For example, in 1988 (Seoul, Korea) and 1992 (Barcelona, Spain), Taekwondo was a demonstration sport, and I believe the medals (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) were provided by the World Taekwondo Federation. By 1994, the IOC had approved Taekwondo as a full medal sport, but not until the 2000 Summer Games (Sydney, Australia). In 1996 (Atlanta, Georgia, USA), Taekwondo had reached its allotted two times as a demonstration sport, and was only allowed to participate as an "exhibition," therefore I do not believe they had any medals awarded above the National level of competition in each country (not sure about that).
there are 302 events some have 2 bronze medals instead of a playoff and teams and pairs are awarded medals to each member
There will be 302 gold medals, and 906 medals, in total, to be awarded in the 2008 Olympics. Obviously they make more individual medals to hand out than that because each person of team events get a medal....
3 ,gold( now gilded silver) ,silver & bronze
Fifteen gold medals were awarded and 260 athletes took part (156 men and 104 women) China won 5 of the 15 gold medals and 7 of the 45 total medals Russia won 5 silver medals and a bronze. Kazakhstan, North Korea, & Iran won 4 medals each
Final count: Gold 302, Silver: 304, and Bronze: 356 for total of 962 Note this is 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. See related links below.
it depends if you mean all athletes or just one sport if its one sport its judged by different things for each sport like style in skating, or if you won the last game of the tourney in hockey you would get gold. If you mean by country than yes if you had the most medals you would win the games.
Each event only gives one gold, one silver, and one bronze. Some gives two bronze (boxing).
On wikipedia it does not tell the first sport they won a medal in, only how many medals they have won each time they participated in the Olympics. Below is a link that can tell you all of that information.
