Every competitor that the nation has qualified and inscribed for that sport – together with the corresponding events in which they took part and the results achived in each round – should be listed in table format, right after the section heading and the main article link(s).
The following table is a guide to help choose which table format should be used, according to the total number of participants and the gender distribution in that total:
Number of competitors
Number of men or women
Output format
Six or less (≤6)
One (1)
Single table for all competitors
More than one (>1)
More than six (>6)
One (1)
More than one (>1)
Two tables, one per gender
If the two-table option is used, precede each table with the corresponding heading (Men or Women). Use a semi-colon to render the heading – ;Men or ;Women instead of ===Men=== or ===Women=== – in order to avoid overloading the table of contents with multiple third-level headings.

General layout notes
Tables should be formatted with the wikitableCSS style class, and the default font size is 90%.
The first two columns are for the competitor name (Athlete) and the event(s) in which the former took part (Event), respectively.
Competitor and event names should be aligned to the left (default), while results and ranks are displayed center-aligned.
If a competitor participates in multiple events, the resulting entries in the first two columns should be organized according to the table on the right.
Different events within a sport may not share the same competitive format (e.g. preliminary heats and/or semifinal(s) versus direct final). If a certain round is not part of an event, place {{n/a}} in the corresponding table cell to render "N/A" (i.e. not applicable) in a grey background.
If a competitor has been drawn no opponent in a round and is directly qualified to the next one (i.e. received a bye), put "Bye" in the cell corresponding to the skipped round.
Ranks should be given as cardinal numbers (i.e. "13" not "13th"). In the case of joint placings, display an equal sign (=) before the rank number.
If a competitor qualified for the following round by reaching the qualification mark, a bolded "Q" (uppercase) should be placed on the right of the rank. If qualification was secured by being one of the best non-direct qualifiers, add a bolded "q" (lowercase) instead. In certain sports (e.g. canoeing), the placing obtained in earlier rounds may determine which further round they qualify for. For such cases, use the proper qualification symbols designated for that sport (see below).
All symbols and abbreviations should be explained in a legend placed at the end of the sport sub-section. Display each key in the form XX=Foo and separated by a semi-colon.
Medalists
Medalist names should appear boldfaced.
Place the medal icons ({{gold01}}), ({{silver02}}) and ({{bronze03}}) in a final Rank column or under the final result, if no such column exists.
Do not apply any background colour to the medalist(s) row cells, since color alone should not convey information, as per WP:COLOR. The medal icons mentioned in the previous point fulfill that dual role.
Records
Similarly to qualification symbols, event records should be displayed at the right side of record-breaking result.
World records are indicated using {{WR}}, which renders WR (links to World record). If a world record is obtained in a swimming event, defining the template as {{WR|swimming}} will redirect the link to World records in swimming. If the previous record was matched, define the eq parameter to any non-blank value, e.g. {{WR|swimming|eq=y}}, which renders =WR.
Olympic records are handled with {{OlyR}}, which produces OR (links to Olympic record). As mentioned for world records, using {{OlyR|swimming}} creates a new link to List of Olympic records in swimming. If the previous record was matched, defining the eq parameter to any non-blank value yields =OR.
National record symbols (NR) should be displayed without boldface. Continental record abbreviations are: AF = African record, AM = Americas record, AS = Asian record, EU = European record, OC = Oceanian record.
The layout design of the results table for a given sport depends on the structure of its competitive system, which generally fits into one of the following categories:
Sports in which the opponent is...
A) ... ONE individual, pair or small team (<5 people)
Summer sports
Winter sports
Archery
Badminton
Beach volleyball
Boxing
Cycling (track)
Fencing
Judo
Table tennis
Taekwondo
Tennis
Wrestling
Curling
B) ... a FIELD of individuals, pairs or small teams (<5 people)
({{gold01}}), 
({{silver02}}) and 
({{bronze03}}) in a final Rank column or under the final result, if no such column exists.
