Norway Leads on Day 15 as U.S. Moves to Second and Medal Table Order Draws Italian Ire

An official gold-first ranking listed the Netherlands ahead of host Italy due to one extra silver despite Italy’s larger overall haul.

Overview

  • Day 15 standings show Norway on top with 18 golds and 40 total medals, followed by the United States at 11 golds and 30 total, and Italy at 10 golds and 29 total.
  • An Olympics social post ranked the Netherlands above Italy on equal golds because the Dutch hold one more silver, prompting criticism from Italian fans who cite Italy’s higher total-medal count.
  • Team USA won mixed aerials gold through Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran and Christopher Lillis, giving the U.S. its 11th gold in Milan Cortina, a single-Winter Games record for the nation.
  • Norway’s Johannes Høsflot Klæbo secured his sixth gold of these Games in the 50km mass start, pushing his career total to 11 Olympic golds, the most in Winter Games history.
  • With only a few events left on the final day, including the men’s hockey final, remaining results may shift lower positions but are not expected to threaten Norway’s lead.
