In the early Olympic Games, several team events were contested by athletes from multiple nations.

[3] Retroactively, the IOC created the designation "mixed team" (with the country code ZZX) to refer to these groups of athletes.

The Soviet Union came closest to beating the record with 195 medals at the 1980 Summer Olympics and currently is in second place.

However, the United States subsequently won 83 gold medals in the 1984 Summer Olympics, setting another all-time record.

[7][8] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.
