| This table shows the number of athletes who have appeared at exactly (or at least) n Olympic Games between 1896 and 2010, as n varies from 5 to 9. For example, 6 men have appeared at exactly seven Olympics while 13 men have appeared at at least seven Olympics. Appearances at the
1906 Intercalated Games are not included. Winter and Summer Olympics are counted as 'different' Olympics even if they occurred in the same year. While these numbers are believed to be correct, it is possible that one or two athletes have been missed, particularly with five-time Olympians.
