Medals
editThis is the table of the medal count of the 2017 Summer Deaflympics, based on the medal count of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). These rankings sort by the number of gold medals, earned by a National Deaf Sports Association (NDSA). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC Country Code. Although this information is provided by the IOC, the CISS itself does not recognize or endorse any ranking system.
