Hedaya Malak (Egypt, bronze). The medal table is based on information provided by the
International Olympic Committee (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 them 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. Two gold medals and no silver medals were awarded due to a first-place tie in the
women's 100 metre freestyle swimming event, while three silver medals and no bronze medals were awarded due to a second-place tie in the
men's 100 metre butterfly swimming event. Additionally, two bronze medals were awarded for a third-place tie in the
women's 100 metre backstroke swimming and in the
men's K-1 200 metres canoeing events.
Nijat Rahimov of Kazakhstan originally won the gold medal in
men's 77 kg weightlifting but was disqualified in March 2022 by the
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for doping violations. As of July 2024, the medals have not yet been re-allocated and will not be until final rulings by the IOC have been issued. ;Key Changes in medal standings (
