The other countries didn't get any gold medal. Excepting the moments when i repeated a position number twice or more than twice(that countries were on the same position), the classification was made with the help of knowing how many silver and bronze medals a country had. For example, France, Ukraine and Netherlands may look that they should be on the same position, but France had more silver medals than Ukraine.Ukraine had the same number of gold and silver medals as Netherlands, but Ukraine had more bronze medals.
