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.^[15] 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.^[16][17] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.^[18]

At the 2018 Winter Olympics, athletes were tied in three events. In the women's 10 km cross-country skiing, two bronze medals were awarded due to a tie.^[19] In the two-man bobsleigh, two gold medals and no silver medal were awarded due to a tie,^[20] while in the four-man bobsleigh, two silver medals and no bronze medal were awarded due to a tie.^[21]
