Olympic champions and medalists

<

The athletes (or teams) that the first, second or third anyhow receive medals. The winners receive "golden medals". (Although they were solid gold until 1912, they now have been made of gilded silver.) The runners-plain fizzy drinks receive silver medals, and the third places athletes bronze medals. In some events fought by a single-eliminatie tournament (with name box), the third place cannot be determined, in which cases the both half final losers receive bronze medals. The practice of the award of medals by the top three competitors was imported in 1904, during the Olympic Games by 1896 only the first two goods received a medal, silver and bronze, while various prices distributed became in 1900. However, the Olympic Games in 1904 also rewarded with silver trofeeën for the first place, through which Athens 1906 the first games that rewarded with the three medals only. Moreover, from 1948 onward athletes bring fourth, fifth and sixth have receive certificaten that became officially known as the "victories diplomas;" since 1976 the medal winners have receive these also, and in 1984 the victories diplomas for the seventh-and achtste-place finish Had Been Added, presumably for it to see to that all losses of a quarter-finalisten in events with single-eliminatie sizes would receive diplomas, thus the taking away of the Official, "classification") comes to the same thing with a fifth to fix via an achtste place (although interesting these last still Fought in many events eliminatie really). Certificaten were allowed also by the Olympic Games by 1896, but there had been awarded next to the medals on the first and second place. Gedenkpenningen medals and diplomas - that differences in the design of the up here meant - also available have been stolen at participants finishing off lower than respective a third and achtste. During the Olympic summer game 2004 in Athens, the first three got wreaths just as their medals.

Because the Olympic Games are held, only once in the four year, the public and athletes sleepiness consider as more important and more valuable than world championships and other international tournaments, that often annually held. Many sporters became fames or heroes in their own country, or even the entire world, after always Olympic champions.

The diversity of the sport, and the large differences between the Olympic Games in 1896 and today the day make the with difficulty to decide which sporter is the most successful Olympic sporter aller times. This becomes yet more intricately because the IOC not longer recognizes the Intercalated Games that they originally organized. By the measuring of the number of titles won on the modern Olympic Games, the next athletes can be considered as the most successful.
