Team USA check: United States — 6 gold, 8 silver, 5 bronze (19 total).

Note: Some trackers sort by total medals instead of gold-first. This post reflects Reuters medal totals at the time of update, displayed in the standard gold-first order.


Why Norway is still the simplest medal-table story

Even with Italy close on overall “volume,” most public medal tables sort gold-first, and Norway’s gold count is the separator. Norway’s 13 gold makes it hard to catch even when other nations stack silvers and bronzes, and Norway also leads in total medals at 29.

Oftebro’s Nordic combined gold adds more Norway separation

Norway’s lead grew again when Jens Lurås Oftebro surged late to win men’s large hill Nordic combined gold, with Austria’s Johannes Lamparter taking silver and Finland’s Ilkka Herola earning bronze. It’s another Norway gold in a sport that tends to reward deep Nordic programs.

Japan’s pairs gold + Georgia’s first medal create a huge figure skating swing

Figure skating delivered two Feb. 17 headline outcomes: Japan won pairs gold (world-record score), and Georgia earned its first Winter Olympic medal with a silver from Metelkina/Berulava. That’s the kind of “who just jumped?” moment fans look for when they search medal counts during the day.
