How to Read and Explore the Rankings
The default order compares gold medals first, then silver medals, and finally bronze medals. Countries with identical medal records share a rank, and the next position reflects the number of entries ahead. Selecting total medals changes the display order while preserving those original rank labels. This makes it easier to compare overall medal counts without confusing them with the default ranking.
Use the country search to find a specific nation, or choose alphabetical order to browse the complete list by name. The summary cards and footer continue to show totals for the full dataset, even when search results narrow the visible rows. Before publishing a new update, replace the underlying figures and verify each entry. Clear sourcing and accurate totals help readers understand exactly what the table represents.
