Gold and it's not even close for me. Only Americans grow up playing football while almost every other country in the world participates in most Olympics sports.

Interesting question.

Would it be safe to say more people have gold medals than super bowl rings?

While both are impressive, I would have to say it would be a gold medal easily.

Not sure. Counting coaches, trainers, and everyone else, probably over 100 people get a Super Bowl ring every year. How many events are in the Olympics? There's only one gold medal for each one.

It's probably close. Estimates of 100 SB rings given out each year and 400 Olympic gold medals given out once every 4 years are probably not too far off.

so a guy with a gold in Curling or synchronized swimming impresses you more than a SB ring?

Gold medal. They're given out to a select few indivduals every 4 years whereas at least 100 Super Bowl rings are given to every member of the winning franchise every single year. Fairly easy to buy a Super Bowl ring of some sort on eBay or at a pawn shop.

Just looked it up, 5768 total gold medals in the modern games. Of course over half those people are probably dead, and that's spread over the world so in America a SB ring is probably far more common.
