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. [42] [43] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code. [44]

In the men's rings and women's uneven bars events, there were ties for second place which resulted in two silver medals and no bronze medals being issued in each event. [45] [46] In the women's artistic individual all-around, two bronze medals were awarded due to a tie. [47] Additionally, in the men's horizontal bars, three bronze medals were awarded due to a tie. [48]
