This is the full table of the '''medal count''' of the '''1972 Winter Olympics'''. These 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. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. This follows the system used by the IOC, IAAF and BBC. {| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! colspan=5 style="border-right:0px;";| 1972 Winter Olympics medal count | style="border-left:0px"; | Image:Olympic-rings.png |- bgcolor="#efefef" | '''Pos''' | '''Country''' | bgcolor="gold" |'''Gold''' | bgcolor="silver" |'''Silver''' | bgcolor="CC9966" |'''Bronze''' | '''Total''' |- ||1||Image:Sovetunion small.png USSR ||8||5||3||16 |- ||2||Image:Germany flag 1949 east.png East Germany (GDR) ||4||3||7||14 |- ||3||Image:Switzerland flag large.png Switzerland ||4||3||3||10 |- ||4||Image:Netherlands flag large.png Netherlands ||4||3||2||9 |- ||5||Image:Us flag large.png United States ||3||2||3||8 |- ||6||Image:Germany flag large.png West Germany (FRG) ||3||1||1||5 |- ||7||Image:Norway flag large.png Norway ||2||5||5||12 |- ||8||Image:Italy flag large.png Italy ||2||2||1||5 |- ||9||Image:Austria flag large.png Austria ||1||2||2||5 |- ||10||Image:Sweden flag large.png Sweden ||1||1||2||4 |- ||'''11'''||Image:Japan flag large.png '''Japan''' ||'''1'''||'''1'''||'''1'''||'''3''' |- ||12||Image:Czech republic flag large.png Czechoslovakia ||1||0||2||3 |- | rowspan="2" |13||Image:Poland flag large.png Poland ||1||0||0||1 |- ||Image:Spain flag large.png Spain ||1||0||0||1 |- ||15||Image:Finland flag large.png Finland ||0||4||1||5 |- ||16||Image:France flag large.png France ||0||1||2||3 |- ||17||Image:Canada flag large.png Canada ||0||1||0||1 |- || || ||36||34||35||105 |}
