Triumph and scandal: What happened in the Winter Olympics

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are in the books.

This year’s Olympics had everything: scandal, heartbreak, outstanding and world-record performances — and the games did not disappoint.

Norway ranked first in number of both gold medals and total medals, tallying 16 and 37, respectively. The United States of America tied for fourth in golds with eight and placed fifth in total medals with 25.

The first competitions were held on Feb. 2, when the luge and curling events began. Two days later, the opening ceremony took place at the Beijing National Stadium.
