Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, athletes from Belarus and Russia were considered to compete under a neutral flag without appearing in the medal standings. However, following threats of boycott by multiple delegations, the IPC issued a blanket ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes, expelling them from the Paralympic Games.[1][2]
Athletes from 19 NPCs won medals, leaving 27 NPCs without a medal. Host China topped the medal table for the first time with 61 medals in total, including 18 gold medals.[4] LW11 alpine skier Jesper Pedersen from Norway won four gold medals at the 2022 Games,[5] while LW12 biathlete and cross-country skier Oksana Masters from the United States won the most individual medals overall, a total of seven medals, comprising three golds and four silvers.
Medal table
By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where nation is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee (NPC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If there is still a tie after that, then the nations shared the tied rank and are listed alphabetically according to their NPC code.
