The United States Olympic Committee ( USOC ) is the National Olympic Committee for the United States. U.S. athletes have won a total of 2,522 medals ( 1,022 of them gold ) at the Summer Olympic Games, the most of any nation, and another 305 at the Winter Olympic Games, the second highest result. The United States has topped the gold medal count ( as the medals are listed on the IOC website, and internationally by tradition ) at seventeen Summer Olympics, the most of any nation, and one Winter Olympics. The United States holds the record both for the most medals of any nation won in a single Summer Olympics and the most gold medals of any nation won in a single Summer Olympics.

The 1912 Olympic pentathlon and decathlon champion Jim Thorpe was stripped of his medals when it was discovered that he had played semi-professional baseball before the Olympics. His medals were posthumously restored by the IOC in 1983 on compassionate grounds. The advent of the state - sponsored `` full - time amateur athlete '' of the Eastern Bloc countries eroded the ideology of the pure amateur, as it put the self - financed amateurs of the Western countries at a disadvantage. The Soviet Union entered teams of athletes who were all nominally students, soldiers, or working in a profession, but all of whom were in reality paid by the state to train on a full - time basis. As a result, the Olympics has shifted away from pure amateurism, as envisioned by Pierre de Coubertin, to allowing participation of professional athletes.
