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 theOlympic 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.[20][21] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by theirIOC country code.[22]
Events inboxing result in a bronze medal being awarded to each of the two competitors who lose their semi-final matches, as opposed to fighting in athird place tie breaker.[23] Other combat sports, which includejudo,taekwondo, andwrestling, use arepechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded.[24] In thewomen's 100 metres in athletics, there was a tie for second place which resulted in two silver medals and no bronze medal being awarded.[25] Two bronze medals were awarded for third place ties in both themen's 100 metre backstroke andmen's 100 metre freestyle swimming events.[26][27]
