The Best Olympics for Georgia: All Medalists and Results from 1996 to Present

The Paris 2024 Olympics turned out to be the most successful in the history of independent Georgia in terms of the quality of medals. Our country earned 3 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze.

In 2008 Georgia also won 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics but this year the number of silver medals are more – 3. As you know, at the Olympics priority is given to quality, not quantity. In terms of quantity, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is a record for Georgia – 8 medals (2 gold).
