The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables.[23] 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.[24][25] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.[26] 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 fighting in a third place tie breaker.[27] Another combat sport, judo, uses a repechage system which also results in two bronze medals being awarded.[28] In the women's 200 metre backstroke, there were ties for third place which resulted in two bronze medals being awarded.[29]
