Totals (104 entries)1,9121,8881,9815,781
  1. ^ The results from the 2001 World Games are from the archived website of the Akita, Japan, organizing committee.[2][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
  2. ^ a b The 1997 bronze medalists in aerobics mixed pair were from Great Britain, not United States as stated in IWGA source.[21]
  3. ^ In 2017, Germany was stripped of a gold medal in women's bowling for doping. This table reflects the reallocation of medals for that event.[22]
  4. ^ a b The Soviet Union, which amassed 36 total medals in 1989, is counted separately from its successor states, including Russia. This is consistent with the separate counting of medals for other states that sub-divided into their constituent successor states following their initial participation in the World Games. These include Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic and Slovakia) and FR Yugoslavia (2001)/SUSM (2005) (Serbia and Montenegro).
  5. ^ a b The 1981 mixed badminton title was won by a pair of players from Sweden and Great Britain. Both nations are counted as having won a gold medal.
  6. ^ a b c In 2009, Ukraine was stripped of two gold medals in bodybuilding for doping, and Qatar and Brazil were each stripped of a silver medal. This table does not include those stripped medals, and neither does it include possible reallocation of those medals, as the results at the World Games website do not reflect a reallocation.[3]
  7. ^ In 2009 and 2013, Hungary was stripped of a gold medal and a silver medal, respectively, in sumo for doping. This table reflects the reallocation of medals for these two events.[3][4][5]
  8. ^ a b The 1993 bronze medalist in men's 75kg karate kumite was from Iran, not Finland as stated in IWGA source.[23]
