context_page_description: The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event held in Grenoble, France, from 6 to 18 February 1968. A total of 1,158 athletes representing 37 National Olympic Committees —including Morocco's first delegation—participated in 35 events from 10 different sports and disciplines. The team relay event in biathlon was contested for the first time.
  Fifteen NOCs won at least one medal, and thirteen of them secured at least one gold. For the first time, after three consecutive editions of the Winter Olympics, the Soviet Union did not finish first in the overall and gold medal counts.
  Having won a total of thirteen medals, of which five were gold, they came second to Norway, whose athletes took home fourteen medals. This was Norway's comeback to the top spot of both medal rankings, after the 1952 Winter Olympics, and the sixth time since the nation first competed at the inaugural 1924 Winter Games.
  The host team, France, concluded its participation with a set of nine medals: four golds, three silvers, and two bronzes.
context_section_description: The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals won by an NOC. 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.
  In speed skating, ties for the second place in the men's 500 m, 1,500 m, and women's 500 m events resulted in the awarding of an additional four silver medals; as a consequence, three bronzes were not presented. This explains the uneven number of total gold (35), silver (39), and bronze (32) medals distributed in these Games.
