The 2014 Winter Olympics medal table is a list of National Olympic Committees (NOCs) ranked by the number of medals won during the 2014 Winter Olympics, which are currently being held in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February. Approximately 2,800 athletes representing 88 NOCs will participate in 98 events in 15 sports. A total of twelve new events are being contested to make it the largest Winter Olympics to date.[1][2]
Medal table
The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC 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, where nation is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee (NOC). 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.
Two gold medals, one to Slovenia and one to Switzerland, were awarded for a first-place tie in the women's downhill competition in alpine skiing, the first gold medal tie ever for an Olympic alpine skiing event. No silver medal was awarded.[3] Two bronze medals, one to Canada and one to the United States, were awarded for the third-place tie in the men's Super-G event in alpine skiing.[4]
