In 1896, the leading country on the medal table was the USA, with host nation Greece winning the most medals overall. There were only 10 individual nations that won medals, with mixed teams winning another 3 medals (in tennis). Actually no gold medals were awarded, as the winners were given silver medals, though just for consistency we call it a gold medal awarded to the winners here. See more about Olympic Medals.
