They are not. Poland "won" three gold medals (poetry 1928, sculpture 1932, music 1948) and nobody counts them in the medal table.

Nobody counts them here too and I thought they weren't officially recognised events anymore.  Although on olympedia they count them so who knows :mumble:

It’s :MON second best performance at the Olympic Games. Julien Médécin won a bronze in architecture in 1924.

Frank "Skinny Legs" Lloyd Wright famously bombed out on the wrestling leg when he hit Le Corbusier over the head with an angle-poise lamp.

Ask someone from Luxembourg if anything. They "won" art drawing in 1928 but I presume Josy Barthel remains their only gold medal winner (1952). From what I know IOC doesn't recognize those art medals anymore.

Think I'd like to have a closer look at the judges' marks on the poetry, to be honest. If you can rig a boxing final, how hard would it be to fix a poetry competition?

Wrt these non sporting medals:

There is a small park in downtown Budapest, the Olympic Park (not far from the Parliament Bldg). In the park,  there's a monument with the name and event of every :HUN Olympic medallist per OG (when I was last there there was even space left for future medallists to be added)

I remember at some early Games some of those non sporting medals were also added in a separate line on the monument.

Maybe they wanted to be exhaustive

I assume the official medal tally of :HUN does not include these medals.

I’d like to see him stick around for another cycle, but if this is his last race, what a way to finish :hatoff:

Wow, Martin Haven totally misread Rinaldi's reaction after the fourth run. He looked utterly disappointed for making a cheap mistake he avoided in previous runs, and dropping one place. Oh well. Still a great result for Monaco!

 

Bronze for Hafer? This is becoming ridiculous. Hafer would be the first to say that the two-man is his weak event. Clean sweep is virtually guaranteed for the four-man.

      Skeleton Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)

      Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)

      Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.

      How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

      FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22

      I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
