Victoria Azarenka (bronze) from Belarus, Serena Williams (gold) from the United States, and Maria Sharapova (silver) from Russia won medals in tennis – women's singles.
This is the table of the medal count of the 2012 Summer Olympics, based on the medal count of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). These rankings sort by the number of gold medals, earned by a National Olympic Committee (NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC Country Code. Although this information is provided by the IOC, the IOC itself does not recognize or endorse any ranking system.[10]
In boxing, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling, two bronze medals are awarded
