This mark was equalled by both Norway and Germany at these Olympics. Norway set the record for most total medals at a single Winter Olympics with 39, surpassing the 37 medals of the United States won at the 2010 Winter Olympics.[6] The mark of 30 NOCs winning medals is the highest for any Winter Olympic Games.

United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics The United States had its worst showing at a Winter Olympics since the 1998 Nagano Games, ranking out of the top three in both the gold and total medal count with 9 and 23 medals respectively, and finished fourth in both rankings.[2] However, there were some notable successes for the team. Jessica Diggins and Kikkan Randall won the first Olympic gold medal in cross-country skiing ever for the United States in the women's team sprint event.[3] Skip John Shuster led his team to the United States' first-ever gold medal in curling, winning the men's curling over Sweden.[4] The United States women's national ice hockey team also won the gold in the women's ice hockey tournament for the first time since the inauguration of the sport in 1998 over archrival Canada in an overtime penalty shootout.[5]
