Medal summary
Medal table
This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their powerlifters (in this context a country is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). 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.

gollark: The government isn't a person. It's a vast corruptible organization with incentives which don't really align with your own.
gollark: I mean, if it was, I don't know, some totalitarian government or other, and I was protesting against them, that would be an incentive.
gollark: Uploading it to what?
gollark: Not really, and we can't.
gollark: Which is *partly* just grounded on some possibly-irrational visceral reaction, yes.
