An all-time medal table for all Olympic Games from 1896 to 2008, including Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games and a combined total of both, is tabulated below. These counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as official Games. The IOC itself does not publish all-time tables, and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games. This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database.[1] The results are attributed to the IOC country code as currently displayed by the IOC database. Usually, a single code corresponds to a single National Olympic Committee (NOC). When different codes are displayed for different years, medal counts are combined in the case of a simple change of IOC code (such as from HOL to NED for the Netherlands) or simple change of country name (such as from Ceylon to Sri Lanka). As the medals are attributed to each NOC, not all totals include medals won by athletes from that country for another NOC, such as before independence of that country (see individual footnotes for special cases such as combined teams). Names in italic are national entities that no longer exist.Facts About the Olympic Medal * Olympic medals since 1928 have featured the same design on the front: a Greek goddess, the Olympic Rings, the coliseum of ancient Athens, a Greek vase known as an amphora, a horse-drawn chariot, and the year, number of the Olympiad, and host city. Additionally, each host city is allowed to add special details to the design. Also, each host city is allowed to design the reverse of the medal. The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) has selected the ACOG logo plus a pictogram of the particular sport the medal is being awarded for. * There will be a total of 1,838 medals awarded--604 gold, 604 silver, and 630 bronze (some Olympic events do not have third- or fourth-place winners, so losers in semi-final rounds are awarded bronze medals). * In the ancient Olympics, no medals were awarded. The first-place winner was given an olive wreath to wear on his head; second- and third-place winners received nothing. * When the Modern Olympics were revived in 1896, first-place winners received silver medals. Strangly, gold was considered inferior to silver. Eight years later, at the 1904 Games in St. Louis, gold replaced silver for first place. * Today's "gold" medals are actually sterling silver covered with a thin coat (6 grams or .21 ounces) of pure gold. * Olympic medals are 7 centimeters (approximately 2 inches) in diameter.Americans' necks full of Olympic medals, but precious few are gold. BEIJING -- On one wall of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Beijing office are 8-by-11 printouts commemorating each American medal earned during these Games. The wall is nearly full. Once again, the U.S. leads the overall medal count. But back in America, fans are finding it difficult to look past the medal table's first column with much enthusiasm. Under "G" for gold medals, host China has forged a seemingly insurmountable 43-26 lead over the United States with five days of competition left. What gives? "For China, the point of emphasis is gold medals," USOC chief communications officer Darryl Seibel said Tuesday. "For the United States, we pursue gold, silver and bronze medals. Our area of emphasis is total production." Before the Olympics, most experts predicted China would win both the gold and overall medal counts. In that regard, America's 79-76 overall medal lead constitutes success, so far. But few, if any, experts believed China would dominate the golds to this degree. The Chinese already have surpassed their gold medal target of the mid- to high 30s, while the U.S. keeps coming up short, sometimes in agonizing ways. Two American mishaps during a 29-minute span Tuesday night at the Bird's Nest seemed to typify the country's fate in Beijing. In the women's 400-meter final, gold medal favorite and University of Texas product Sanya Richards had a 5-meter lead entering the final stretch, but she developed a cramp in her hamstring and finished third. Soon after a tearful Ms. Richards concluded media interviews, women's 100-meter hurdles favorite Lolo Jones also broke down. She, too, was leading her final until she clipped the next-to-last hurdle. The stumble caused her to finish seventh. Author: leadervideos Keywords: public service announcements medal china beijing olympic games jogos olímpicos Added: August 31, 2008

Natalie Coughlin on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno 8/28/08. A two-time Olympian and the greatest female swimmer of all-time at California, Natalie Coughlin, will appear on Thursday night's broadcast of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on NBC. Coughlin made Olympic history in the pool, becoming the first American woman ever (in any sport) to medal six times in a single Olympiad after garnering a silver in the women's 4x100-meter medley relay at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing at the 2008 Summer Games. Overall, Coughlin garnered three bronze, two silver and a gold at the Olympics in Beijing. She has attained 11 career Olympic medals, one shy of former U.S. star Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres, who are tied for the record for most Olympic women's swimming medals with 12. Coughlin is however tied with former Cal men's swimmer Matt Biondi with the most Olympic medals by any Cal athlete. Coughlin also became the first woman to repeat as the 100-meter backstroke champion since its inception to the Summer Games in 1924. Joining Coughlin on "The Tonight Show" will be Chef Gordon Ramsay of Fox Television's "Hell's Kitchen" and musical guest Missy Higgins. Please check local listings for air times. Mentored by Cal head coach and U.S. Olympic assistant coach, Teri McKeever - one of the most influential minds in the sport - Coughlin won 12 NCAA titles with the Golden Bears (the second-most career titles for a women's swimmer in NCAA history). She was a three-time NCAA and Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year. Her success only grew more after her collegiate tenure. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Coughlin became the third American woman to win five medals at one Olympics (the others are Mary Lou Retton and Shannon Miller). She took gold in the 100-meter backstroke and the 800-freestyle relay, breaking the world record in that event. Coughlin also won silver medals in the 400-free relay and the 400-medley relay, and a bronze in the 100 free. At the 2008 Olympic Trials, Coughlin lowered her then world record (since broken) in the 100 back to 58.97. In addition, she finished second in both the 100 free (53.83) and 200 individual medley (2:10.32).

BEIJING (AP) — A Spanish tenor, a British soccer star and a throng of kung-fu fighters are among the scheduled closing-ceremony attractions Sunday night as China concludes its first Olympics and hands over the role of Summer Games to London. Fireworks are planned at 18 locations across the vast city, and a packed house of more than 90,000 will be on hand in the National Outdoor Stadium for the ceremony itself. Its creators have promised a more lighthearted show than the opening ceremony Aug. 8, which focused heavily on Chinese history. Highlights for the closing include a duet by tenor Placido Domingo and Chinese soprano Song Zuying, as well as a display by several hundred kung fu practitioners from a martial arts school. "It's going to be very different from the opening ceremony, which was burdened with heavy responsibility to show Chinese culture to the world," one of the directors, Miao Pei, told China's Southern Metropolis News. Film director Zhang Yimou, in charge of both the opening and closing ceremonies, said the dramatic highlight of the finale will be the extinguishing of the Olympic flame atop the stadium. But details were not released in advance — rehearsals were conducted in secret on a college campus. London, host of the 2012 Olympics, will take over part way through the ceremony for an eight-minute show that will feature a red double-decker London bus driving into the stadium and converting into a stage. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and British singing sensation Leona Lewis will perform, and soccer icon David Beckham will kick a ball into a crowd of onlookers. They will be celebrating not only London's upcoming role as host, but also a breakthrough performance here in China by British athletes, completing their country's best Olympics in a century. "We will not compete with the (Chinese) ceremony," said London 2012 organizer Bill Morris. "It will be simple, youthful, athletic, loud and proud like London, entertaining and fun." Among those in attendance will be British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and London's mayor, Boris Johnson, who will receive the Olympic flag from Beijing Mayor Go Jinlong. China invested more than $40 billion in the games, which it viewed as a chance to show the world its dramatic economic progress. Even with a day of competition remaining, China had clinched first place in the gold medal standings, and logistics during the games ran smoothly. Questions remained, however, about the Chinese authorities' tough stance on press freedom and political protest — it blocked access to numerous politically edged Web sites during the Olympics, issued no permits for use of designated "protest zones" and detained demonstrators at unauthorized protests that did take place sporadically.

http://blog5ive.wordpress.com/ Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with the eight golds he won at the 2008 Olympic Games. With this record, he surpassed Mark Spitz, who was also a swimmer and had held the previous gold medal total with the seven that he won at the 1972 Olympic Games. Overall, Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals: six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In winning these medals, he has twice equaled Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's record of eight medals (of any type) at a single Olympics; Dityatin garnered eight at the 1980 Summer Olympics, while Phelps won eight medals at both the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2008 Summer Olympics. Out of his eight gold medals from Beijing, five were won in individual events, tying the record for individual gold medals at a single Games originally set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps ranks second in total career Olympic medals, after Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals (nine gold) spanning three Olympic Games. Phelps's international titles, along with his various world records, have resulted in him being awarded the World Swimmer of the Year Award in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007 and American Swimmer of the Year Award in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007. Phelps has won a total of 48 career medals thus far: 40 gold, six silvers and two bronze. This includes all of the Championships in which he has competed: The Olympics, the World Championships, and the Pan Pacific Championships. A friend told me he was involved in a car accident recently but it's probably not related to this clip. http://blog5ive.wordpress.com/ Author: OMG080808 Keywords: Michael Phelps Olympics Gold Medal medalist winner 2008 beijing games car accident news Added: August 26, 2008
