I doubt there's an answer to this question.Do you mean - which nation (or whatever the relevant competing areas were then) came top of the medal table? Always assuming there was one.

There are a number of problems in defining how many nations actually took part. National teams were practically non-existant with most athletes representing themselves, which does lead to inconsistancies if an athlete was born in one country but lived in another (the Bulgarians for example claim that a swiss national living in Bulgaria was really competing under their flag). Despite not being fully independant from the UK, medals tables usually count the results of 800m/1500m athlete Teddy Flack as an Australian even though he was living in London at the time. Austria and Hungary were then joined together as one nation, so numbers of competing nations vary from 12 to 14, depending on your political viewpoint.The USA won 11 "gold" medals against Greece's 10 as the hosts, and thus come first in the table, although Greece won the most medals overall with a Gold/Silver/Bronze haul of 46 against America's 20. Women were not allowed to compete at all. At most, there were some 241 athletes competing, mostly from Europe - the USA sent 14 athletes to Athens, 12 of whom came back with a medal of some kind.
