The United States had a record-setting performance at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, winning more gold medals than any other year competing in the Winter Games.
MILAN, Italy — The 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics have come to an end, with a celebratory Closing Ceremony wrapping the bow on a thrilling two weeks of competition.
The U.S. earned more hardware in this year’s Olympics than in any previous Winter Games, which includes claiming several gold medals. Team USA finished second place in the overall medal and gold medal counts, behind Norway.
Nearly 350 medals were given during this year’s competitions. The U.S. is taking 33 medals home.
As of Sunday, the United States has brought home 33 medals: 12 gold, 12 silver and nine bronze. That total puts them behind Norway, which has 41. Italy is in third place for overall medals. Germany is in fourth place with 26 overall medals.
The U.S. Olympic team won its record-breaking 11th gold medal of the Winter Games on Saturday. The trio of Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran and Chris Lillis gave the U.S. the record by capturing the American team’s second straight title in mixed aerials.
The 11th gold breaks the country’s mark set at the last Olympics on U.S. soil — in Salt Lake City in 2002, which has long stood out as a turning point for a Winter-sports program that had struggled over previous decades.
That record was then again upped by a tantalizing gold medal win from the U.S. men’s hockey team.
