Medal table
[edit]
The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC 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, where nation is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee (NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.
Two bronze medals were awarded Daniela Maier and Fanny Smith for a third-place tie freestyle women's ski cross event following a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[11]
