Medal Count Olympics 2026: Norway Leads on Gold, Italy Tied on Total, and Saturday’s Schedule Brings a Busy Medal Day
The medal count at the 2026 Winter Olympics tightened after Friday, February 13 results, with Norway holding the edge on gold medals and Italy matching Norway on total medals. The United States sits third overall, buoyed by a high silver count that keeps it within striking distance if a couple of second-place finishes flip to wins over the weekend.
Below is the Olympic medal count as of Saturday, February 14, 2026 ET, reflecting results through Friday, February 13.

What today could do to the medal table
Norway’s advantage is the most valuable kind: a gold lead. Italy’s position is equally strategic: tied for the most total medals with home momentum. For the United States, the storyline is conversion. Seven silvers signal lots of podium presence, but the medal table only moves quickly if those silvers turn into gold.
Saturday’s mix of alpine, endurance, and sliding finals is exactly the type of day where one country can grab two or three golds and change the headline by nightfall. If you want, tell me which country you’re tracking and I’ll pull out the most relevant “must-watch” events from the schedule above.
