Medals for the demonstration events are NOT counted. Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) or historical teams are NOT merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states.

The conventions used on these lists are: OG for Olympic Games, WCH for World Championship, WCup for World Cup, M for Men's tournament, W for Women's tournament, and T for Total.

The tables are pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, then most first-place results, second-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
