This is the medal table of the 1988 Winter Olympics, which were held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Medal table

The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and is consistent with the IOC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals earned by a nation's athletes (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by an NOC). The number of silver medals won is taken into consideration next, followed by the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, an equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.

Of particular interest was the fact that the games were a colossal disappointment for the host nation, Canada, winning only 5 total medals and (more importantly) no gold medals.
