Medal table
The rankings sort by the number of gold medals earned by a country. The number of silvers is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze. Equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically if after the above, countries are still tied. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC.
Mascot
The mascot is a multicolored Indalo, which is a cave painting possibly representing a man holding an arch over his head. Indalete, who was inspired by this ancestral figure, has a kind, likeable and very youthful appearance.
