Olympic medal count: How many gold medals has Team USA won?
Short intro: As the 2026 Winter Games unfold in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Team USA has emerged with multiple gold medals and a growing overall tally. The medal picture has shifted through the first week of competition; the most recent event results push the American gold count into the mid-single digits and keep the United States among the nations contending near the top of the standings.
Gold count and standout American performances
Through the early stretch of the Games, U. S. athletes have delivered a string of high-profile gold-medal performances. The American gold haul includes victories in alpine skiing, figure skating, freestyle moguls and long-track speedskating.
Breezy Johnson captured gold in the women's downhill, delivering a breakthrough Olympic moment and the first American victory in alpine speed on the mountain. The figure skating team event also produced a gold for the U. S.; a dominant free-skating display from the country's top jumpers helped secure the top podium spot in the team competition. Twenty-year-old Elizabeth Lemley won gold in women's moguls in her Olympic debut, adding to the U. S. freestyle skiing success.
Long-track speedskater Jordan Stolz has been a particularly bright spot, taking gold in the men's 1, 000 meters and following that up with another gold in the 500 meters. Both victories came with Olympic-record-setting times, making Stolz one of the breakout stars of the Games.
Counting those event results, the American gold total sits in the mid-single digits as the competition moves on; more events remain on the schedule and the gold tally is likely to change as new finals take place.
Where the medal table stands and what to watch next
The overall podium race remains tightly contested. Norway has held a commanding position in the gold column and leads the total-medal count, while the host nation has also amassed a heavy medal load. Early tallies placed the United States among the top three nations for total medals; subsequent event outcomes have continued to shift the rankings day by day.
Beyond the headline golds, the U. S. roster has piled up a mix of silver and bronze medals across disciplines: cross-country, freestyle, snowboarding, curling and alpine team events are among the sports contributing to the American total. Notable near-misses and podium finishes—silver in mixed doubles curling, podiums in cross-country sprinting and halfpipe—underscore the depth of the delegation and the variety of medal opportunities still to come.
Key storylines to monitor in the coming days include additional finals in speedskating and skiing, where the U. S. has several medal contenders; the closing stages of the sliding and snowboarding programs; and team events that can rapidly alter a country's overall standing. With dozens of events still on the schedule, the medal table is expected to remain fluid.
