Israel has competed at the Olympic Games as a nation since 1952. Its National Olympic Committee was formed in 1933, during the British Mandate of Palestine. [1] Israel has sent a team to each Summer Olympic Games since 1952 (except when it participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics), and to each Winter Olympic Games since 1994.
Team sports medals, such as in football or basketball count as one, even if there are multiple players on each team, who get a medal. Some tied performances have resulted in multiple medals of the same colour being awarded for an event. If this tie is for gold or silver, there will be a consequent absence of a silver or bronze medal for that event.
In the event of a tie in the number of gold medals, the number of silver medals is taken into consideration, and then the number of bronze medals. If two countries have an equal number of gold, silver, and bronze medals, they are ordered in the table alphabetically by their IOC country code .
In the history of the games, Russia (2001, 2005, 2009 and 2017) has led the total medal count four times, and Italy (1985, 1989 and 2013) three times. The United States have claimed that honor twice (1981 and 1997), while Germany (West Germany in the first three editions) also led the overall count twice in 1993 and in 2022.
