First-ever medals and golds
Going into the 2024 Games, there were 69 countries that had never won a Summer Olympics medal, and another 37 that had never won a gold.
Each Olympics, this list gets shorter. In Tokyo, three countries — Burkina Faso, San Marino and Turkmenistan — won their first-ever medal. Three more — Bermuda, the Philippines and Qatar — won their first gold.
