Ties for medals at the Olympics

A tie would occur when 2 or more individual or teams achieved identical results in the Olympics. In these cases, there will be multiple winners with the same medal.

Ties occasionally occurs during the games and since medals are complicated to produce, the Olympic organising committee makes advance arrangements for extra medals to be produced in the event of a tie.[1][2]

In addition, 2 finals were held for one rowing event at the 1900 Olympics, men's coxed four. It was due to controversy about which boats should advance to the final, thus two separate finals were held awarding 2 sets of medals for the same event, both which are considered Olympic championships by the International Olympic Committee.

Similarly, 2 finals were held for some sailing events at the 1900 Olympics, namely 0 to .5 ton, .5 to 1 ton, 1 to 2 ton, 2 to 3 ton and 3 to 10 ton.[note 6]

Notes

  1. Jack Egan originally won the silver medal in the lightweight competition and the bronze medal in the welterweight competition. Later it was discovered that his real name was Frank Joseph Floyd while the AAU rules made it illegal to fight under an assumed name. In November 1905 the AAU disqualified Egan from all AAU competitions and he had to return all his prizes. In the lightweight competition Russell van Horn moved up to silver and Peter Sturholdt to bronze (Sturholdt won the bronze medal without winning a single bout). In the welterweight competition Joseph Lydon moved up to bronze. However according to IOC's medal database for 1904 Olympics Jack Egan has silver medal in Boxing lightweight and bronze medal in Boxing welterweight, Russell van Horn has bronze in the lightweight competition and Joseph Lydon keeps bronze in the welterweight competition.
  2. Metaxas is generally credited with a bronze medal; no tie-breaker was held. The 1908 official report at p. 280 lists Metaxas as having tied with Maunder and assigns bronze medals to each. However, Metaxas does not appear in the IOC medal database, which lists only Maunder as sole bronze medalist. Some sources follow this database.
  3. 1 2 Thorpe's gold medal was stripped by the International Olympic Committee in 1913, after the IOC learned that Thorpe had played semi-pro baseball before, violating Olympic amateurism rules, before the 1912 Games. This moved everyone else up in the rankings. In 1982, the IOC was convinced that the disqualification had been improper, as no protest against Thorpe's eligibility had been brought within the required 30 days and reinstated Thorpe's medals. Bie, Donahue, and Lukeman, however, were declared to still be gold, silver, and bronze medalists, respectively. This made Thorpe and Bie co-champions.
  4. On 5 October 2007 Marion Jones of the United States admitted to having taken performance enhancing drugs prior to the 2000 Summer Olympics. On 9 October she relinquished her medals to the United States Olympic Committee and on 12 December, the International Olympic Committee formally stripped her of her medals. In 2009, her medals were reawarded as follows
    100 metres
    1. not awarded
    2. Greece Ekaterini Thanou 11.12 and Jamaica Tayna Lawrence 11.18
    3. Jamaica Merlene Ottey 11.19
    Though the IAAF lists Thanou as the first-place finisher in the women's 100m race, she was not awarded a gold medal by the IOC, the IOC choosing instead to upgrade Lawrence and Ottey, but leave the gold-medal slot vacant.
    200 metres
    1. The Bahamas Pauline Davis-Thompson 22.27
    2. Sri Lanka Susanthika Jayasinghe 22.28
    3. Jamaica Beverly McDonald 22.35
    All three athletes were upgraded from their original medal position.
    Long jump
    1. Germany Heike Drechsler
    2. Italy Fiona May
    3. Russia Tatyana Kotova 6.83
    Kotova, the original fourth-place finisher, was upgraded to the bronze medal.
  5. not exactly a tie, but a second gold medal
  6. In this event, however, only the second race winners are listed in International Olympic Committee database.
