In the 64 Commonwealth Games editions that have taken place since the inaugural multisport event in Ontario, Canada, in 1930, there have been a total of 11,138 medals won. Of those, 3,609 are golds, 3,603 silver and 3,926 bronze.

Swimmer Emma McKeon became the most decorated athlete in Commonwealth Games history winning eight medals at Birmingham 2022 to take the Aussie’s all-time total to 20.

Another swimmer, South Africa’s Chad Le Clos, had the chance to join McKeon but two fourth places were unable to take him beyond equalling the previous best medallists, with sport shooters Phillip Adams and Mick Gault on 18.

Following their win at Birmingham 2022, Australia have now topped the medal table at 12 Games, England seven, and Canada one. The last time a Great British nation hosted the event on home soil, at Glasgow 2014, England unseated the Aussies from top spot for the first time since 1994, but couldn’t do it this time around in Birmingham.

The athletes from down under achieved 67 gold, 57 silver, and 54 bronze in the English West Midlands.

England came second with 57 gold, 66 silver and 53 bronze, while Canada finished in third place with 26 gold, 32 silver, and 35 bronze.

So here’s the latest update on the nations and territories that top the table of all-time Commonwealth Games medallists.

The rankings below were compiled after the final day of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, UK, and are ranked by number of gold medals won.
