Snowboard at the Winter Paralympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Para snowboard is a Paralympic sport that is contested at the Winter Paralympic Games. Snowboard was first introduced with snowboard cross as part of Alpine skiing at the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. At the 2018 Winter Paralympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, events were held in 2 disciplines — snowboard cross and banked slalom — in 2 categories for women and 3 categories for men.

A total of 28 gold medals, 28 silver medals and 28 bronze medals have been awarded since 2014 and have been won by snowboarders from 15 National Paralympic Committees (NPC).
Summary
Medal table
The ranking in the table is based on information provided by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and will be consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table will be 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 Paralympic 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 by IPC country code.[1]
