Norway extended its Winter Olympic dominance this year, departing Italy with the most golds and highest total medal count.

A lot Norway’s supremacy stems from tradition as the cradle of Nordic skiing. Most medals came from cross-country and biathlon whiles ski jumper Anna Odine Stroem swept both the normal and large hills, and added a silver in the mixed team event. Jens Luraas Oftebro took both Nordic combined titles.

While Norway rules the 2026 medal table, its hockey teams are at home — a stark difference from its Nordic neighbors Sweden and Finland.

Norway, led by the cross-country skiing sensation Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, topped the medal table for the fourth straight Winter Games.

The United States' late charge at the Milan Cortina Winter Games couldn't quite catch up with this one country's dominance.

Johannes Klaebo won all six cross-country skiing events at this year's Winter Olympics, the surpassing Eric Heiden's five golds in 1980.

Norway’s Klaebo capped off a historic performance, completing a sweep of all six men’s cross-country skiing events.
