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.{{cite web |title=Medal Standings – Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games |url=https://www.pyeongchang2018.com/en/game-time/results/OWG2018/en/general/medal-standings.htm |website=PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505114012/https://www.pyeongchang2018.com/en/game-time/results/OWG2018/en/general/medal-standings.htm |archive-date=5 May 2018 |url-status=dead |access-date=10 July 2024}} 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.{{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 }} If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.{{cite web |last1=Cons |first1=Roddy |title=What happens if two countries are tied in the Olympic medal table?
