The following medal table is a list of National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and one
non-NOC team ranked by the number of gold medals won by their athletes during the
2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, from 5 to 21 August 2016.[1]
Vietnam, Kosovo, Fiji, Singapore, Puerto Rico, Bahrain, Jordan, Tajikistan and Ivory
Coast won their first Olympic gold medals. They were also Kosovo's, Fiji's, and Jordan's
first Olympic medals of any kind.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Kuwaiti shooter Fehaid Al-Deehani

became the first independent athlete to win a gold medal,[12][13] though gold medals have
been won under the Olympic flag by other entities, such as the Unified Team in 1992.
For the fourth time in five Games, the United States led the medal table both in number
of gold medals won (as the medals are listed on the official website of the Games, and
internationally by tradition), and in overall medals (the traditional method by which the
table is listed in the United States). Behind the United States, Great Britain were second
on the medal table by golds (27), and third by overall medals (67) their highest finish
under either count since the home games of 1908, while China were third by golds (26),
but second by overall medals (70). Both countries were significantly behind the United
States tally (46 golds, 121 medals), but well clear of a group of challengers for fourth in
the table including Russia, Germany, France and 2020 hosts Japan.
Athletes from 87 nations earned medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics, breaking the
record of most nations winning a medal at a single edition of the Olympics.[14] Athletes
from 59 nations earned gold medals at these games, also breaking the record for the most
number of nations winning gold at a single games.[15] Great Britain became the first
country in the history of the modern Olympics to increase their tally of medals in the
subsequent games after being the host nation winning 67 total medals (with 27 golds) at
these games compared to the 65 (with 29 golds) won in London four years previously.[16]
[17]
Host country Brazil won seven gold medals, their most at any single Summer
Olympics.
