The medal table is based on information provided by theInternational Olympic Committee (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.[10][11] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by theirIOC country code.[12]
Two bronze medals were awarded toDaniela Maier andFanny Smith for a third-place tie in thefreestyle women's ski cross event following a decision by theCourt of Arbitration for Sport.[13]
