All the participating nations had sent their representatives other than North Korea and Venezuela due to their relation crisis with the United States. Surprisingly, the IWF has banned countries like Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Moldova, Armenia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan to participate in the 2017 edition of the tournament as their weightlifters were tested positive for using banned substances.

Among the participating nations, Mexico has beaten other nations to achieve the highest number of medals, with 15 of them earned by their athletes. Iran held the second spot with 14 medals and Georgia has secured the third place with 7 medals.
