SB-LL2

Athletes competing in the class SB-LL2 have impairment to one or both legs "with less activity limitation", such as below-knee amputation.[2]

Medal summary

Medal table

The ranking in the table is based on information provided by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and will be consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table will be ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IPC country code.[4]

Rank	Nation	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Total
1	United States (USA)	5	5	3	13
2	Netherlands (NED)	2	2	1	5
3	Australia (AUS)	1	0	1	2
	Finland (FIN)	1	0	1	2
	Japan (JPN)	1	0	1	2
6	France (FRA)	0	1	1	2
7	Austria (AUT)	0	1	0	1
	Italy (ITA)	0	1	0	1
