Finland was also the host nation for the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Finnish athletes have won a total of 305 medals at the Summer Games, mostly in athletics and wrestling. Finland has also won 181 medals at the Winter Games, mostly in Nordic skiing events.
The National Olympic Committee for Finland is the Finnish Olympic Committee, and was created and recognized in 1907, when Finland was Grand Duchy of Finland, as an autonomous state within the Russian Empire. Finland earned medals at 50 straight Olympics Games between 1908 and 2022 until the country's first-ever Olympics without a medal 2024. Only its neighbouring country Sweden has reached a longer medalling streak, with one or more medals at every Olympic event since 1908 so far.
