From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following table list the first Olympic gold medal won by each National Olympic Committee (NOC).

James Brendan Connolly of the United States is credited as the first ever gold medalist of the modern Olympic Games. [1]

In some cases, a NOC may garner multiple gold medals in the same edition where it won its first ever gold medal. Scheduling of events is a factor that plays a part in who is considered the first Olympic gold medalist for a nation.

Names in italic are national entities that no longer exist.

Originally, runner Rashid Ramzi won the Men's 1500 metres race in 2008, but he was stripped of his gold medal the following year after he tested positive for the blood-booster CERA. Before Jamal was upgraded to gold, for one year Bahrain's first gold medalist was Ruth Jebet, winning the Women's 3000 metres steeplechase in 2016.
