Final 2026 Winter Olympics medal standings: A complete look at the closing table

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina have officially concluded, delivering unforgettable drama, historic breakthroughs, and a reshaped global medal hierarchy. As the curtain fell in Verona, the final medal table confirmed which nations dominated the Games and which exceeded expectations on the grandest winter stage.

Norway reigns supreme again

Norway once again underlined its Winter Olympic supremacy, finishing at the top of the medal standings with a staggering 18 gold medals and 41 overall. The Scandinavian powerhouse surpassed its previous benchmark from Beijing 2022, extending its reputation as the most successful nation in Winter Games history.

Their dominance left a clear gap between themselves and second-placed United States, who secured 12 gold medals and 33 in total.

United States secures strong second

Team USA capped off its campaign in spectacular fashion by defeating Canada in the men’s ice hockey final — their first Olympic gold in the event since the iconic 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” That victory served as the final medal event of the Games and propelled the Americans comfortably into second place in the standings.

With 12 golds, 12 silvers, and nine bronzes, the United States reaffirmed its winter sporting depth across disciplines.

Netherlands and Italy shine bright

The Netherlands clinched third place with 10 gold medals and 20 overall, continuing its excellence on ice. Host nation Italy enjoyed one of its most successful Winter Olympics ever, finishing fourth with 10 golds and an impressive 30 total medals — a performance that electrified home crowds throughout northern Italy.

Germany (8 gold, 26 total) and France (8 gold, 23 total) rounded out the top six in a tightly contested European battle.

Historic high for Great Britain

Great Britain delivered one of its strongest Winter Olympic performances in history. Finishing 15th overall with five medals — including three golds — Team GB achieved its most successful Games in terms of gold medal count.

The trio of gold medals marked a historic milestone, surpassing previous Winter Olympic achievements and signaling the nation’s growing competitiveness on snow and ice.
