Team USA concluded the 2026 Winter Olympics by securing a record 12 gold medals for the nation, its highest tally ever in the Winter Games. The final gold came from a dramatic 2-1 sudden-death overtime victory over Canada in men's hockey, scored by Jack Hughes.
Norway, however, dominated the overall standings, setting a new Winter Olympics record with 18 gold medals and 41 total medals. The United States finished second in both the gold medal and total medal counts, with 33 overall—just one short of the American record set in 2002.
The American gold medalists included victories in women's downhill skiing, team figure skating, speed skating, monobob, slalom, ice hockey, and ski halfpipe events. The final medal table confirms Norway's historic performance as the most successful in Winter Olympics history.
