The Summer Olympics (Games of the Olympiad) have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, with the exception of the years during the World Wars.\n\nA special edition for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first winter Olympics competitions were originally held as a non-Olympic sports festival, but were declared to be official Games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 the Winter Games and the Summer Games are held two years apart.\n\nThere are many legends surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. One of these associates the first Games with the ancient Greek concept of εκεχειρία (ekecheiria) or Olympic Truce. The date of the Games' inception based on the count of years in Olympiads is reconstructed as 776 BC, although scholars' opinions diverge between dates as early as 884 BC and as late as 704 BC.\n\nIn the 17th century, the Olympic Games sports festival was held in England, followed by the National Olympic Games, which were established in the 19th century and continue to this day. Later, similar events were organised in France and Greece, but these were all small-scale and certainly not international.\n\nThe interest in reviving the Olympics grew when the ruins of ancient Olympia were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-19th century. At the same time, Baron Pierre de Coubertin was searching for a reason for the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871). He thought the reason was that the French had not received proper physical education, and sought to improve this. In 1890 he attended the Wenlock Olympian Society. Coubertin also thought of a way to bring nations closer together, to have the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. In his eyes, the recovery of the Olympic Games would achieve both of these goals.\n\nIn a congress at the Sorbonne University, in Paris, held from June 16 to June 23, 1894 he presented his ideas to an international audience. On the last day of the congress, it was decided that the first modern Olympic Games would take place in 1896 in Athens, in the country of their birth. To organise the Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established, with the Greek Demetrius Vikelas as its first president.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Ancient_Olympics

If you want to talk strictly of who revived the games: "Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century." He wanted to encourage better physical conditioning as well as foreign relations. He presented the ideas to an international audience in Paris in 1894 and, basically, they agreed. The first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Athens. You can find more information about the Olympics at www.wikipedia.org.

I'm sorry to give you the bad news - I do not believe that these are accessible online.\n\nWebsites such as:\n\nhttp://www.databaseolympics.com/\nhttp://www.olympic.org/uk/games/past/index_uk.asp?OLGT=1&OLGY=1948\n\ngive you the medal winners.\n\nI think that you have 2 options: Try to contact someone who has the (paper) results or find a library copy of a UK paper from 1948.\n\nFor the former, I suggest that you try the British Olympic Association (http://www.olympics.org.uk/index.asp) or the National Union of Track Statisticians (http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~rsparks/nuts.htm)\n\nFor the latter, you will probably find the full results in The Times.\n\nBest of luck!\n\nHugh.
