The ranking in this table is consistent with [[International Olympic Committee]] 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 Olympic 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; they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.

;Note
{{refbegin}}
{{Note label|A|a|a}}There are sources, that display variations in the number of total participating nations, but Indonesia didn't send any athlete but an official who marched with a flag of Indonesia, so number of NOCs which sent athletes to the Games were 26, not 27.
