If you consider wining the most medals to be "winning", then it would be Greece - they won 10 Gold 17 Silver and 19 Bronze medals in the 1896 Summer Olympics. The USA won 11 Gold, 7 Silver, and 2 Bronze - so if "winning" is getting the most Gold's, then the USA "won" - albeit with less than half the total medals won by the Greeks.

Note: the medals awarded to the winning athletes were actually silver with runners-up getting a copper medal
