2026 Winter Olympics medal count tracker: Final standings from the Games

The Winter Games have begun to heat up.

Team USA has scored multiple gold medals, starting with Breezy Johnson's Gold in Women's Downhill skiing and continuing with the Figure Skating Team Event.

More medals will come, too.

Here's a running count of the countries that have won medals at the 2026 Winter Games, and which countries have taken home gold in Milan.

USA wins 1st men's hockey Gold since ‘Miracle on Ice’

First, there was Mike Eruzione. Now, we have Jack Hughes.

Hughes' goal off the rush off a pass from Zach Werenski 1:41 into 3-on-3 OT sent the US bench spilling onto the ice in Milan as the Americans won Gold in Milan.

It's the first Olympic Gold for Team USA since 1980, when USA stunned the Soviet Union and then Sweden to win Gold. Eruzione scored the game-winning goal to beat the Soviets in 1980. Hughes' shot to beat Jordan Binnington now stands up there.

Canada controlled the game with a collection of some of the best players the world has ever seen.

Goalie Connor Hellebuyck was the best goalie in Milan, and proved that with his stellar performance against Canada.

Both the Team USA men and women's teams took home Gold in Milan.

The men's hockey Gold was the final medal event in Milan as Team USA finishes with 12 Gold Medals.

Mixed aerials trio wins USA's 11th Gold

The United States Olympic team won its record-breaking 11th gold medal of the Games in thrilling fashion.

The American trio of Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran and Chris Lillis took the Gold in mixed aerials.

Team USA last set the record back in 2002 at the Salt Lake City Games.

Ferreira wins Gold in freestyle skiing halfpipe

Alex Ferreira is known for being a showman.

He's known for his alter ego "Hotdog Hans," where he wears prosthetics to appear as an 80-year-old skier with a bad termper and shows off with advanced freestyle tricks that shocks those nearby.

Now, Hans is an Olympic Gold medalist.

Ferreira scored 93.75 with his third and final run in the freestyle ski halfpipe event, and that was enough to hold off Canada’s Brendan Mackay for the top spot on the podium.

Ferreira competed in seven World Cup events this past season, and won all seven events. On Friday, he won the biggest event of them all and has a celebration plan to go with it.

"I’m going to drink copious amounts of beer," Ferreira told the Associated Press.

Across the venues in Milan, Corinne Stoddard earned bronze in the 1500-meter short track speedskating event. 

After setting the pace early on, South Korea's Kim Gilli and Minjeong Choi overtook her in the final two laps. Gilli won Gold, and Choi took home silver.

With her bronze medal, Stoddard is the first individual medal in a short-track event for an American woman in 16 years.

Alysa Liu ends USA's medal drought

For the first time since 2002, USA has an Olympic figure skating champion.

With a gorgeous free skate that captured the joy of figure skating that Alysa Liu triumphantly regained, she captured the hearts of the judges and won gold.

Liu's combined score from her free skate and short program was enough to hold off Japan's Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai. Sakamoto won silver and Nakau won bronze.

For the first time since Sarah Hughes won Gold in 2002, Liu is now atop the skating world.

USA's Amber Glenn, who endured a glaring mistake in her short program, rallied from 13th place to fifth with a free skate performance that gave her an Olympic moment that won over the hearts of Americans that empathized with her earlier this week.

Glenn and Liu embraced as the final scores came through, earning the Americans another gold. 

Liu walked away from figure skating after the 2022 Games, citing a lack of joy in the sport. The smiles she displayed as she performed to "MacArthur Park" proved she regained a kind of golden love that is now written in Olympic lore.

That love ended over two decades of frustration for Team USA.

USA women's hockey stymies Canada

With a comeback for the ages, Team USA beat Canada to win Gold. American defenseman Megan Keller clinched the 2-1 overtime final with a shot that sent the stadium into pandemonium.

Hilary Knight equalized the game on a tap-in goal with 2:04 remaining in the third period.

That set up a classic finish that will be remembered forever in American Olympic lore.

Earlier on Thursday, Jordan Stolz fell short of his third Gold at the Games, but did win Silver in the 1500-meter event in speedskating.

The greatest American skier snaps Olympic drought

Mikaela Shiffrin would not be denied.

The greatest American skier won Gold in the slalom on Wednesday, breaking an agonizing eight-year Olympic drought and cementing her as one of the greatest Alpine ski athletes in the history of the sport.

Shiffrin had to endure to reach a day like today. She skied in six events in Beijiing, and did not medal in any of those six events. 

She started the 2026 Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo with an 11th place in the giant slalom and a fourth-place finish in the team combined event. In the team event, Shiffrin placed 15th in the slalom portion.

Shiffrin won her first gold came in the slalom over a decade ago at the Sochi Games, and won two medals in Pyongchang. On Wednesday, her legacy was cemented with another win and her fourth Olympic medal.

USA men's team sprint takes Silver

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is on his way to an unprecedented run in Milan. He just won his fifth Gold medal at the Milan Cortina Games in the cross-country skiing men's team sprint free event.

Norway took the top spot, with the American team of Ben Ogden and Gus Schumacher just 1.4 seconds behind.

Team USA still claimed Silver.

"We kept the belief and I knew that Gus was not going to let up until the last second," Ogden said, according to the Associated Press. "I couldn’t let up to the last seconds. So it was pretty incredible."

Team USA is keeping up with Norway, Italy

Entering Tuesday on the week of the 16, Team USA is 10 medals behind Norway and four behind host country Italy.

Chicagoland natives Ethan Cepuran and Emery Lehman won Silver in the speedstaking team pursuit event. Meanwhile, Elana Meyers Taylor won the Gold medal that has eluded her for her entire Olympic career.

At 41, Meyers Taylor became the oldest woman to win an individual gold medal in Winter Games history. Sweden's Anette Norberg was 43 when she won Gold with the Swedish curling team at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Meyers Taylor's sixth career Olympic medal has tied Bonnie Blair for the most by a U.S. woman in the Winter Games. That sixth Olympic Medal also set a new record for most medals by a Black woman in the Winter Games.

"As soon as I saw that E had won, I just started screaming, jumping, hugging anyone who was close. Almost passed out because I was excited,"  Jadin O'Brien, Meyers Taylor's bobseligh teammate, said according to the Associated Press. "Without a doubt, the coolest sports moment I’ve ever been part of."

More events are on deck for the United States, such as the women's figure skating events.

Soltz continues his Golden start

Jordan Stolz was clear that his ambition was to be a four-time Gold Medal winner in Milan.

He's halfway there.

Stolz is now a two-time Olympic gold medalist, halfway to his goal of four at the Games, after winning the long-track speed skating 500-meters event on Saturday. Stolz won the 1000-meter race earlier in the games.

Casey FitzRandolph was the last American to win Olympic gold in the men’s 500 in 2002.

Khazikstan wins gold as ‘Quad God’ falters in free skate

Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan won the men's figure skating Gold in shocking fashion. 

Team USA's Ilia Malinin needed a solid skate to earn a podium spot, but doing his normal skate would have earned him Gold. The Quad God fell twice and popped out of two of his other jumps in his routine as he tumbled to eighth.

"But it’s not like any other competition. It’s the Olympics," Malinin said, according to the Associated Press, "and I think people (don’t) realize the pressure and the nerves that actually happen from the inside. So it was really just something that overwhelmed me and I just felt like just I had no control."

Shaidorov, in an upset fashion, took gold with an artistic free skate that was near perfection with its technical score.

Team USA Curling marks an Olympic first on Friday

In 1998, women's curling was introduced at the Olympics. U.S. and Canadian teams have played at least once in each games, and the U.S. has lost every time.

Until Friday.

The USA women's curling team of Cory Thiesse, Taylor Anderson-Heide, Tabitha Peterson and Tara Peterson beat Canada 9-8 during the women's curling round robin session.

"I think we just played a really good game," Minneapolis native Taylor Anderson-Heide said, according to the Associated Press. "They're No. 1 in the world."

Choi stuns Kim in the women's halfpipe

On Thursday night in Milan, Chloe Kim was going for a three-peat.

Ga-on Choi stunned the field with an upset.

The American snowboarder won Silver in the Women's Halfpipe event, 2.25 points behind Choi. She was aiming to be the first snowboarder to win three straight Olympic gold medals.

She's was aiming to do this while playing hurt, too. Kim wore a brace after tearing her labrum in practice before the Games began. Even with the injury, Kim said she felt fine after her first run. That run put her atop the standings, with Gold in clear view.

"I've been doing this for 22 years," Kim told the Associated Press. "Muscle memory is a thing."

In the halfpipe event on Thursday, Kim scored an 88 on her first run. That was three points higher than Japan's Mitsuki Ono.

Kim fought off a snowy start to the event, where plenty of competitors crashed in the extra slippery conditions. She nailed her first run. Everyone else needed to find a way to catch up. Choi crashed on her first run and was down on the course for a few minutes.

In the final run, Choi stunned the field with a 90.25. Kim had one last chance to win Gold and clinch the three-peat. She fell on her final pass, clinching Gold for Choi and Korea.

USA adds early medal Thursday

Jesse Diggins got Team USA on the board Thursday in the women's 10-Kilometer Interval Start Cross-Country Ski event.

She earned bronze, finishing behind Swedish skiers Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson. That brought Team USA's medal count to 13, just one behind home country Italy heading into the heart of Thursday's competition.

Chock and Bates fall just short of gold

Team USA's Madison Chock and Evan Bates were 0.46 points behind French duo Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron entering the free dance portion of the ice dance.

In the end, the French pair just staved off the USA duo. Gold eluded Chock and Bates again.

Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron finished with a final two-day score of 225.82. That narrowly nixed Chock and Bates' final score of 224.39. Team USA will take Silver in an Ice Dance event that will be debated in the near future.

"I feel like in life, sometimes you can feel like you do everything right and it doesn't go your way, and that's life in sports," Bates said, according to the Associated Press. "It's a subjective sport. It is a judged sport. But I think one fact that is indisputable is that we delivered our best. We skated our best."

Cizeron made one glaring mistake in a twizzle sequence, along with a few other lighter errors. Compared to Chock and Bates, whose skate was nearly perfect, it seemed like the Americans were in line for Gold. A French judge, however, favored the French skaters, as one of the only judges to score Chock and Bates with a sub-130 score in the free dance. 

"I usually prefer Guillaume and Laurence," British skater Marco Fabbri said, candidly told the Associated Press following the medal ceremony. "But today, in my opinion, they didn’t skate so well. So I think Madison and Evan would have deserved to win."

Jordan Stolz wins gold in 1000-meter skating

Jordan Stolz didn't just win Gold.

He set an Olympic record in the process.

Soltz won the Men's 1000-meter long-track speedskating race with a time of 1:06.28. He finished .50 seconds ahead of Dutch skater Jennings De Boo, who finished with a time of 1:06.78.

This is Team USA's first Olympic gold medal in any speed skating men's event since the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Lemley wins gold to cap big Wednesday start

Elizabeth Lemley is an Olympic champion at just 20-years-old.

With a score of 82.30 points, Lemley jumped into first place. Team USA teammate and Beijing 2022 Silver Medalist Jaelin Kauf jumped into second with a score of 80.77. The two held onto to their scores to finish first and second to cap a productive morning for the Americans. 

French skier Perrine Laffont, the 2018 Olympic champion, took bronze.

Ryan Cochran-Siegle earned Team USA another Silver when he took second in the Super-G. Cochran-Siegle finished 0.13 seconds behind Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen, who won Gold.

Americans claim 5 medals early Tuesday

Team USA had a productive morning, winning five medals spanning into the early afternoon local time. 

Alex Hall and Ben Ogden took home Silver in the Men's Freeski Slopestyle Event and the Cross-Country Ski Men's Spring Classic Event, respectively. Ashley Farquharson won Bronze for the USA. She's just the seventh Olympic medalist in Team USA Luge Olympic history.

Sweden held off the Americans in the Mixed Curling Team event, winning gold and dropping the Americans to silver.

‘Quad God’ helps secure USA's second Gold

The Team Event came down to the Men's Free Skate.

Ilia Malinin, known as the "Quad God" for being the only skater ever to land a quad axel in competition, lived up to his reputation. He earned a score of 200.03 after attempting five quadruple jumps. He still had to wait as Japan's Shun Sato performed a skate so technically sound it made Americans nervous. Still, Shun scored 194.86.

Team USA won, beating out Japan by one point, 69-68.

Amber Glenn finished third in the Women's Free Skate, while Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea finished fourth in the Pair Skate. Madison Chock and Evan Bates finished first in the Ice Dance.

Johnson secures USA's first gold on emotional run

Team USA endured a whirl of emotions in the Women's Downhill event.

Johnson secured the first gold for USA at The Games, but Team USA watched American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn get airlifted for medical care after sustaining a leg fracture following a crash. Vonn did not finish, ending her Olympic run that was already hailed with courage after she competed with a torn ACL.

Johnson finished her run with a time of 1:36.10. That was .04 seconds ahead of Germany's Emma Aicher, who finished second to claim Silver.
