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. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.{{cite web |last1=Townsend |first1=Mark |title=US finds its own way to top the medal table at Tokyo Olympics |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug/07/us-finds-its-own-way-to-top-the-medal-table-at-tokyo-olympics |website=The Observer |publisher=The Guardian |access-date=10 July 2024 |date=7 August 2021 |archive-date=17 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240717122912/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug/07/us-finds-its-own-way-to-top-the-medal-table-at-tokyo-olympics |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=How does the Olympic medal table work? |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/athletics/how-olympic-medal-table-work-8647081 |website=Daily Mirror |date=18 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240710191151/https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/athletics/how-olympic-medal-table-work-8647081 |archive-date=10 July 2024 |url-status=live |last1=Flanagan |first1=Aaron |access-date=10 July 2024 |language=en }} Two bronze medals were awarded in each boxing event to the losing semi-finalists, as opposed to them fighting in a third place tiebreaker.{{cite web |title=Explained: Two bronze medals are awarded in the Olympics boxing competition |url=https://olympics.com/en/news/why-two-bronze-medals-boxing |work=International Olympic Committee |date=1 August 2021|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20230328143327/https://olympics.com/en/news/why-two-bronze-medals-boxing |archive-date=28 March 2023 |url-status=live |last1=Ansari |first1=Aarish |access-date=2 August 2024}}
