Medal table
The ranking in this table is based on medal counts published by several media organizations. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals won by the athletes representing a nation. (In this context, a nation is an entity represented by a 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 by IOC country code.

Notes
- ^a Some sources appoint that Argentina achieved 47 silver medals and 39 bronze medals, despite the majority of reports counting 44 and 38, respectively. This would result in a total of 154 medals earned by Argentinean athletes during the Games.[2][3]
- ^b Some reports say that the United States earned 46 gold medals and 19 bronze medals, instead of 44 and 18, respectively. This would result in a total of 98 medals earned by American athletes during the Games.[2][3]
- ^c Some sources appoint that Chile achieved, in fact, 8 gold medals and 19 silver medals, despite many reports counting 9 and 20, respectively. This would result in a total of 39 medals earned by Chilean athletes during the Games and would put the country in fourth place, behind Cuba.[2][3]
