The 2004 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, were a summer multi-sport event held in Athens, the capital city of Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004.[1] A total of 10,625 athletes from a record 201 countries represented by National Olympic Committees (NOC) participated in these games.[2] The games featured featured 301 events in 28 sports and 39 disciplines,[3][4] including the Olympic debuts of women's wrestling and women's sabre.[5] Kiribati and Timor Leste competed for the first time in these Olympic Games.[5] It was the second time after 1896 that Athens had hosted the Summer Olympics in the modern era.[6]

Athletes from 74 countries won at least one medal and 56 of them won at least one gold medal.[7] The United States led the medal table both in number of gold medals won and in overall medals, winning 36 and 101 respectively.[8] It was the third consecutive Summer Olympic Games that the United States led the medal count in both gold and overall medals.[9] The United Arab Emirates,[10] Paraguay[11] and Eritrea won their first ever Olympic medals.[12] Israel,[13] Chile,[14] Dominican Republic,[15] Georgia,[16] Chinese Taipei[17] and the United Arab Emirates won their first Olympic gold medals.[18] American swimmer Michael Phelps won the most gold medals among individual participants with six and the most total medals with eight (six gold and two bronze),[19] equalling the record held by Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin in 1980 for the most medals won at an Olympic Games.[20]

During and after the Games, some athletes who were caught doping, or tested positive for banned substances, were disqualified from competition and had their medals rescinded.[21][22]

Part of a series on
2004 Summer Olympics

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables.[23] The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.[24][25] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.[26]

Events in boxing result in a bronze medal being awarded to each of the two competitors who lose their semi-final matches, as opposed to fighting in a third place tie breaker.[27] Another combat sport, judo, uses a repechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded.[28] In the women's 200 metre backstroke, there were ties for third place which resulted in two bronze medals being awarded.[29]

In the first two cases medals were not reallocated, as the athletes who were supposed to receive them, tested for doping themselves. On 5 March 2013, the IOC sent a statement to the Spanish Olympic Committee, taking the decision to reallocate the medals in the men's shot put, due to exclusion of Ukrainian Yuriy Bilonoh, gold medalist at the time, by doping. Based on this decision, the new owner of the gold medal will be with the second-placed American athlete Adam Nelson, the silver medal will be with the third-placed Danish Joachim Olsen, and bronze medals will be with fourth-placed Spanish Manuel Martínez.[49][50]

On 30 May 2013, during the meeting of the IOC Executive Board there were three new decisions of the reallocated medals. In athletics, Executive Board confirmed the reallocation of medals in men's shot put. In athletics, the athlete Věra Pospíšilová-Cechlová (Czech Republic) became the new bronze medallist in the women's discus throw. In Weightlifting, the athlete Reyhan Arabacıoğlu (Turkey) be the new bronze medalist proof in the men's 77 kg event.[51]

As a result, she forfeited all of her results from that time period, and agreed to a four-year suspension, until January 2014.[53][54] In 2013, both the International Athletic Association Federation and the IOC announced that the result would stand and the American squad (except Cox) would be allowed to retain their gold medals due to the fact that, according to the rules of the time, a team should not be disqualified because of a doping offense of an athlete who did not compete in the finals.[55]
