Medals
This is the full table of the medal count of the 1994 Commonwealth Games, which were held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. 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.
