List of official changes in medal standings (during the Games) * Host nation ( China) 2008 Summer Olympics medal table Rank ‡ Changes in medal standings ( see below) Įmma Snowsill (left) and Emma Moffatt (right) from Australia show off their gold and bronze medals after the women's triathlon. Ties for third in swimming's men's 100 metre backstroke and men's 100 metre freestyle meant that two bronze medals were awarded for those events. Additionally there was a tie for the silver medal in the women's 100 metres in athletics and no bronze was awarded. An exception was the men's 84 kg Greco-Roman wrestling, where Ara Abrahamian was stripped of his medal due to his conduct during the medal ceremony. Therefore, the total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals.
In boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded in each weight class. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.
The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee). The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables.
