Most Medals
Crowns
Instead of bronze, silver and
gold medals, winners were
awarded crowns made of a
wreath of olive leaves.
Bukan medali emas, perak
dan perungu, pemenang
biasanya akan mendapatkan
mahkota dari daun zaitun.
The First Event
The first recorded Olympic contest was held
in Olympia, Greece, in 776 BCE. There was only
one event, a foot race that was believed to be
about 200 metres. The games would be held
every four years, and as time went on, new
sports were introduced, such as boxing,
wrestling and chariot racing.
Olimpiade pertama diselenggarakan di
Olympia, Yunani, 776 SM. Hanya ada satu
pertandingan, berjalan cepat sepanjang 200 m.
Lomba ini hanya diadakan empat tahun
sekali, dan seiring waktu, pertandingan
baru pun diperkenalkan seperti tinju,
gulat dan balap kereta kuda.
The USA has won more gold, silver and
bronze medals than any other nation at the
Summer Olympics. It has also hosted the
Games more than any other nation – four
times in total: St Louis 1904, Los Angeles
1932 and 1984, and Atlanta 1996.
Amerika memenangkan banyak emas,
perak dan perunggu daripada negara lainnya
pada Olimpiade Musim Panas. Amerika juga
banyak menyelenggarakan olimpiade
daripada negara lainnya; seluruhnya
4 kali: St Louis 1904, LA 1932 dan
1984 serta Atlanta 1996.
