1984 Winter Olympics medal table


The 1984 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIV Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, from 8 to 19 February 1984. A total of 1,272 athletes representing 49 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) (+12 from the 1980 Olympics) participated in 39 events (+1 from 1980) from 10 different sports and disciplines (unchanged from 1980). Compared with the previous Winter Games, the new event included was the women's 20 km in cross-country skiing, while first time NOCs to enter were Egypt, Monaco, Puerto Rico, Senegal, and British Virgin Islands.

Seventeen NOCs won at least one medal and, among these, eleven secured at least one gold medal. For the first time since its debut at the 1968 Winter Olympics, East Germany topped the gold medal count with nine, three more than the Soviet Union, which had led this count in the past three Games. The Soviet delegation won the most overall medals (25), including the most silvers (10) and bronzes (9). The host nation, Yugoslavia, collected its first-ever medal at the Winter Olympics: a silver by alpine skier Jure Franko in the men's giant slalom. This was the third time that the Winter Olympics host team failed to win a gold medal, after France in 1924 and Switzerland in 1928.
