Medal Table Shows Phelps and Franklin's Success

In the 2012 Summer Olympics, Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin emerged as the most decorated athletes, each winning an impressive four gold medals. This achievement tied them for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics, a remarkable feat that has not been matched since.

The official medal table of the London Games paints a vivid picture of the dominance of Phelps and Franklin. The United States topped the table with a staggering 104 medals, including 46 golds, 29 silvers, and 29 bronzes.

A total of 85 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) claimed at least one medal, with 54 of them securing at least one gold. The London 2012 Games also marked a significant milestone in the cultural sphere, featuring a four-year Cultural Olympiad that culminated in the spectacular Opening Ceremony on July 27.
