Medal table Olympics medal table The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Paralympic Committee (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 taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IPC country code. 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). Two bronze medals were awarded in the dartchery, snooker and table tennis events.Medallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Dartchery http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=x&sport=dartchery&discipline=&event=Pairs&eclass=open International Paralympic Committee 12 May 2011 31 August 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120831191332/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?eclass=open&sport=dartchery&competition=1964PG&gender=x&discipline=&event=Pairs deadMedallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Snooker http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=m&sport=snooker&discipline=&event=Snooker%20Event&eclass=paraplegics%20-%20open International Paralympic Committee 12 May 2011 11 March 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111111/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/results.php?competition=1964PG&gender=m&sport=snooker&discipline=&event=Snooker%20Event&eclass=paraplegics%20-%20open deadMedallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Table Tennis http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=21 International Paralympic Committee 12 May 2011 11 March 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111123/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=21 dead Some swimming events did not award silver or bronze medals.Medallists Tokyo 1964 Paralympic Games Swimming http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=20 International Paralympic Committee 12 May 2011 11 March 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140311111134/http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/reports.php?type=event&criteria=0&games=1964PG&sport=20 dead The US dominated the medal standings.
