2018 Winter Olympics: Final Medal Count and Countries with Most Gold

Everywhere you turned at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Norway was winning a medal.

Norway earned the most medals at a single Winter Olympics with 39, a total that beat the previous mark set by the United States by two.

The Norwegians earned a medal in eight different sports, and 14 of the 39 medals came from cross-country skiing.

Germany provided a stiff test in the medal count for most of the two-week competition, as it finished second with 31 medals.

Although they were separated by eight medals, Norway and Germany both totaled 14 golds, while Canada was the only other nation to have double-digit gold-medal winners.
