Olympic medals. If a football team wins gold, I know each member gets a medal, but?
does that count as 11 gold in the medal table or does it count as one medal. For example. If USA has one gold medal, then the football team gets gold. Does it appear as 2 gold medals or 12 gold medals?

Each team member get one medal
It could be a pair like beach volleyball or a team like football or basketball
But the win counts as one gold, not the number of people getting the gold

It counts as one on the medal table, but there are more medals if its a squad. Dont know where they draw the line on number, but the substitutes get a medal too. In the FA cup in England the winners are given 15 medals, but they can ask for more later, up to a limit.

im surprised at how many times this gets asked since id thought it would be pretty much common sense that there is 1 gold for each event and just adding loads of golds to a medal table just cause its a team sport would be massively unfair

Everyone on the team gets a medal, but the medal count for that country only goes up by one.

What a stupid question to ask?
In that case...there'd be more than 11 if you include the subs and the manager and coaching staff....
