With a total of 155 medals (43 gold, 54 silver, 58 bronze), Belgium ranks 30th among medal-earning nations at the Summer Olympic Games since the start of the modern era in 1896 in Athens.
This ranking could change due to the outcomes of new anti-doping analyses on samples, which are retained for eight years at the request of the International Olympic Committee. The ranking system, determined by statista.com, is based primarily on the number of gold medals, followed by silver and bronze, rather than a total medal count.
