The medal table is based on information provided by the IOC and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the
Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their
IOC country code. Events in
boxing result in a bronze medal being awarded to each of the two competitors who lose their semi-final matches, as opposed to fighting in a
third place tie breaker. Other combat sports, which include
judo,
taekwondo, and
wrestling, use a
repechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded. In the
women's 100 metres in athletics, there was a tie for second place which resulted in two silver medals and no bronze medal being awarded. Two bronze medals were awarded for third place ties in both the
men's 100 metre backstroke and
men's 100 metre freestyle swimming events. from Norway (silver),
