As the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics move through Day 15, the medal table is beginning to reflect both historical dominance and emerging pressure. While every edition writes its own script, the latest standings underline one familiar truth — Norway remains the gold standard.
Norway sets the pace
Norway leads the medal table with 18 gold medals and 40 total podium finishes, reinforcing its long-standing supremacy in Winter Olympic competition. The Scandinavian powerhouse continues to demonstrate remarkable balance across disciplines, combining depth with clinical execution in key finals.
With 11 silver and 11 bronze medals complementing its gold tally, Norway’s consistency across events has once again positioned it at the summit heading into the closing stretch.
United States keeps the pressure on
The United States sits second with 11 gold medals and 30 total medals. The Americans have accumulated 12 silvers and 7 bronzes, reflecting strong representation in finals across multiple sports.
However, the gold conversion rate remains the defining storyline. With several top-two finishes, the U.S. remains within striking distance, but a shift in gold outcomes will be crucial if it hopes to challenge Norway at the top.
Host nation Italy in contention
Italy, competing on home snow and ice, holds third position with 10 gold medals and 29 total medals. The host nation’s 13 bronze medals highlight frequent podium appearances, suggesting that marginal gains could still reshape its standing before the Games conclude.
Home advantage has historically played a pivotal role in Olympic outcomes, and Italy’s position keeps it firmly in the conversation.
Japan, France, and Canada close the gap
Japan has secured 24 total medals (5 gold, 7 silver, 12 bronze), while France stands at 23 total medals with 8 golds. Both nations have shown the ability to surge when momentum swings in their favor.
Canada rounds out the top six with 17 total medals, relying on composure in high-pressure events. Though slightly behind the leaders, a strong finish could elevate its final placement.
