==Medal table==
{{See also|Olympic medal table}}

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.<ref name=olympicsorg/> 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=Olympic medal table: USA beat China to top spot at Paris 2024 |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympics-2024-medal-table-count-paris-b2580716.html |work=[[The Independent]] | date=11 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240812015233/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympics-2024-medal-table-count-paris-b2594580.html |archive-date=12 August 2024 |url-status=live |last1=Ostlere |first1=Lawrence |access-date=12 August 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=A Medal Count That Adds Up To Little |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/sports/olympics/19araton.html |work=[[The New York Times]] | date=18 August 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230321004238/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/sports/olympics/19araton.html |archive-date=21 March 2023 |url-status=live |last1=Araton |first1=Harvey |url-access=subscription |access-date=25 July 2024 }}</ref> If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their [[List of IOC country codes|IOC country code]].<ref>{{cite news |title=What happens if two countries are tied in the Olympic medal table?
