## Medal table (unofficial)

The medal count has been published. There is a mismatch between the unofficial medal count and the published medal count for the Bahamas. This can be explained by the fact that there was a jump off between Jamal Wilson and Kyle Grant, both from the Bahamas, in the Men's High Jump Under 20 competition, which is separately listed in the results and might have been counted twice.
