In which Olympic games were the gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal introduced for the first time?

Gold, silver and bronze medals were first awarded at the London games in 1908. At the first modern Olympics in 1896, winners received silver medals while runners-up received copper medals. The victory podium with its 1-2-3 positions didn't arrive at the Olympics until 1932. Aug 26 04, 5:09 PM

Trust me to have the only book to say it was 1908! [Aug 28 04 1:40 AM] gmackematix writes: Actually I have two books that say London introduced bronzes for third place in 1908 and one has info supplied by the Sydney Olympic Committee. Maybe I was correct after all. Aug 27 04, 9:58 PM
