With 43 medal events remaining in the 2026 Winter Olympics, Team USA has some ground to make up if they want to finish at the top of the medal table. Historically, the U.S. has led the medal count twice - in 1932 at the Lake Placid Games and in 2010 in Vancouver. But this year, traditional winter powerhouse Norway currently has the lead.
