Italy

The first Italian to become Olympic Champion was 22-year old Gian Giorgio Trissino who cleared 1.85m with his mount Oreste in the equestrian high jump on 2 June 1900 at Paris. Trissino had to share the Gold with Frenchman Dominique Maximien Gardéres who cleared the same height with his mount Canela.

146 Italians (all but one are men) became Olympic Champions prior to WW2 for a total haul of 56 Gold.
