Medal table Olympic medal table The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the IPC and is consistent with IPC 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 (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is next considered, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations remain tied, they are ranked equally and listed alphabetically by IPC country code.Sydney 2000 https://paralympics.org.nz/games/previous-summer-games/sydney-2000/ Paralympics New Zealand 7 September 2024 With a few exceptions, each event contributed one medal of each type to the table (although for team events, multiple physical medals were actually awarded).
