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.
