Medal table
{{see also|Olympic medal table}}
The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the IPC and is consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is next considered, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations remain tied, they are ranked equally and listed alphabetically by IPC country code.{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000|url=https://paralympics.org.nz/games/previous-summer-games/sydney-2000/|publisher=Paralympics New Zealand|access-date=7 September 2024}}
With a few exceptions, each event contributed one medal of each type to the table (although for team events, multiple physical medals were actually awarded). All judo events awarded two bronze medals, one to each of the losing semi-finalists.{{cite web|url=http://www.paralympic.org/Sport/Results/reports.html?type=event&criteria=0&games=2000PG&sport=13|title=Medallists – Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games – Judo|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 January 2012}}{{dead link|date=July 2012}} There was a tie in the men's 100 m backstroke S8 event with two gold medals being awarded and only one bronze medal to the third placed athlete.{{cite web|url=http://www.paralympic.org/Sport/Results/reports.html?type=event&criteria=0&games=2000PG&sport=20|title=Medallists – Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games – Swimming|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|access-date=12 January 2012}}{{dead link|date=July 2012}} In the intellectual disability basketball event, although three medals were initially awarded, the gold was later stripped from the Spanish team due to a disqualification for cheating.{{cite news|publisher=BBC Sport|date=14 December 2000|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/1071059.stm|title=Spain ordered to return golds|access-date=14 August 2007|archive-date=17 September 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080917231607/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/1071059.stm|url-status=live}}
