2020 Olympics
The 2020 Olympic Games, held in Tokyo in 2021 after a COVID-related delay, were a much more sober affair due to the coronavirus pandemic. There, the U.S. narrowly edged out China for most gold medals, 39 to 38, but remained comfortably ahead in overall medals, with American athletes taking home 113 medals to second-place China’s 89.
2022 Winter Olympics
In the 2022 Winter Games, held in Beijing, the U.S. was third in both the gold-medal count and overall medals, with nine golds and 25 overall. Norway topped the count with 16 golds and 37 total medals, followed by Germany in both gold medals, with 12, and overall medals, with 27. Host nation China tied the U.S. in the number of gold medals but trailed in the total medal count, with 15.
All-Time Medal Leaders:
