2018 Winter Olympics

The 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event held in Pyeongchang County (stylized as PyeongChang for the games), South Korea, from February 9 to 25. A total of 2,833 athletes representing 92 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated.[1] The games featured 102 events in 15 sports, making it the first Winter Olympics to surpass 100 medal events. Four new disciplines in existing sports were introduced to the Winter Olympic Games program in Pyeongchang, including big air snowboarding, mixed doubles curling, mass start speed skating, and mixed team alpine skiing.[2]

Overall, 30 teams received at least one medal, the highest for any Winter Olympic Games thus far, and 22 of them won at least one gold medal.[3][4] Athletes from Norway won the most medals overall, with 39, surpassing the previous record of 37 medals set by the United States won at the 2010 Winter Olympics.[5] Athletes from Germany and Norway tied for the most gold medals with 14 each, tying the record set by Canada in 2010 for most gold medals won at a single Winter Olympics. Hungary won its first Winter Olympic gold medal ever.[6]

The Netherlands achieved a podium sweep in speed skating, in the women's 3,000 metres.[7] Norway achieved a podium sweep in cross-country skiing, in the men's 30 km skiathlon.[8] Germany achieved a podium sweep in nordic combined, in the individual large hill/10 km.[9] At the 2018 Winter Olympics, athletes were tied in three events. In the women's 10 km cross-country skiing, two bronze medals were awarded due to a tie.[10] In the two-man bobsleigh, two gold medals and no silver medal were awarded due to a tie,[11] while in the four-man bobsleigh, two silver medals and no bronze medal were awarded due to a tie.[12]

Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won the most medals at the games with five (two gold, one silver, and two bronze).[13] With 15 total Olympic medals, she also became the most decorated athlete in Winter Olympics history.[14] Ester Ledecká of the Czech Republic became the first female Winter Olympian to achieve a gold medal in two separate sports at a single Games, winning in both alpine skiing and snowboarding.[15]

Medal table

The podium for the Freestyle skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men's ski cross event. From left to right: silver medalist Marc Bischofberger (Switzerland), gold medalist Brady Leman (Canada) and bronze medalist Sergey Ridzik (Olympic Athlete from Russia).

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables.[16][17] By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.[18][19]
