The first person to win an Olympic gold medal is often considered to be the ancient Greek athlete Coroebus of Elis, who won the stadion race in the first recorded Olympic Games in 776 BC. In modern Olympics, the first gold medal was awarded to the American athlete James Connolly in the triple jump at the 1896 Athens Games.
