The 2026 Winter Olympics conclude Sunday in Milan Cortina and several countries have already set records for the number of medals and total gold medals they have won.
Ahead of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony and the end of yet another Olympic Games, this is the updated medal count, including the number of gold, silver, and bronze medal each country has attained.
A Record Number of Gold for the United States
While Norway has set the record for most medals won by single country and the most gold captured, the United States has set a personal record for the most gold medals achieved in a single Winter Olympics.
That can be attributed to outstanding performances on the ice, where the Americans captured gold in the figure skating team and women’s singles events.
Ilia Malinin, Evan Bates, Madison Chock, and Alysa Liu all came up big to make those medal victories happen, while the US women’s squad team proved to be, arguably, the greatest hockey team the country has ever produced at an Olympics en route to a thrilling gold-medal victory over Canada.
The United States proved most prolific in freestyle skiing, where Elizabeth Lemley and Alex Ferreira brought home individual gold while the the country earned the top prize in the Mixed Team Aerials event.
Jordan Stolz dominated speed skating, earning two gold medals and Mikaela Shiffrin earned an elusive gold that ended her Olympic drought.
It was a prolific Winter Olympics for the Americans, good enough for a second-place finish in overall medal wins behind a Norwegian team that took home seven gold medals in cross country skiing events alone.
