The 2010 Winter Olympics medal table is a list of National Olympic Committees listed by the number of medals won during the 2010 Winter Olympics, held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from February 12 to February 28. A total of 2,632 athletes from 82 nations participated in 86 events in fifteen disciplines.[1]
Athletes from 26 countries won at least one medal; 19 of those nations won at least one gold. Canada won its first gold medal at an Olympic Games it hosted, having failed to do so at both the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. In contrast to the lack of gold medals at these previous Olympics, Canada finished first overall in gold medal wins[2] and became the first host nation since Norway in 1952 to lead the gold medal count, with 14 gold medals. Canada also broke the record for the most golds won at a single Winter Olympics, which was 13, set by the Soviet Union in 1976 and Norway in 2002.[3] The United States placed first in total medals—its second time doing so in a Winter Games—and set a record for most medals won at a single Winter Olympics, with 37.[2] Athletes from Slovakia[4] and Belarus[5] won the first Winter Olympic gold medals for their nations.

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC 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 and they are listed alphabetically.
In the men's individual event in biathlon, two silver medals were awarded for a second-place tie. No bronze medal was awarded for that event.[6]
