And Team USA is on the board as well with their first gold medal.

Who has won medals for Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics?
Here we will take a deeper look at each medalist from Team USA.
Breezy Johnson: Gold, women’s downhill
Breezy Johnson’s dream of competing at the 2022 Winter Olympics ended in Cortina four year ago.
Now she has a gold medal.
Johnson suffered a devastating crash at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina during a training run four years ago, a crash which partially dislodged a large chunk of cartilage in her right knee. As a result, she had to withdraw from the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. But she conquered Cortina in the women’s downhill to secure both a gold medal, and the first medal for Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Team USA: Team figure skating
The United States collected their second gold medal in the team figure skating competition.
And it was a narrow victory over Japan.
The event came down to a battle between the final two men’s skaters: Ilia Malinin of the U.S. and Shun Sato of Japan. Malinin had lost in the short program to Yuma Kagiyama earlier in the competition, who was replaced by Sato as the long program is considered his strength. And while Malinin delivered a disappointing performance with his long program — his result was his lowest free skate score in his last five competitions — it was still enough to see the United States through to a 69-68 win over Japan.
Ben Ogden: Cross-country skiing
A decades-long drought for Team USA in cross-country skiing is over.
Ben Ogden took silver in the cross-country skiing sprint on Tuesday, becoming just the second U.S. male cross-country skier to win an Olympic medal, and the first in 50 years.
Bill Koch took silver in the 50K classic at the 1976 Winter Olympics. As fate would have it, Ogden started his own cross-country skiing journey in the Bill Koch Youth Ski League. Ogden finished with a time of 3:40, a second behind gold-medalist Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo from Norway.
Alex Hall: Freestyle skiing
Alex Hall’s attempt at a repeat gold medal in freeski slopestyle fell short, as he was nipped by Norway’s Birk Ruud 86.28 to 85.75. Hall’s second run pulled him within a half-point of Ruud, but could not catch him on his final run.
With the silver medal, Team USA has secured seven of the 12 medals in the event’s history.
Jacqueline Wiles/Paula Moltzan: Alpine combined
As expected, Team USA secured a medal in the women’s team combined.
But it was not the pairing many expected to see.
Team USA favorites Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin were in contention for gold as expected, after Johnson delivered the fastest downhill leg. But Shiffrin, winner of seven of eight slaloms this season, only finished 15th in her portion of the event, dropping the pair out of medal contention.
They missed out on bronze by 0.06 of a second.
Instead, that bronze went to Team USA pair Jacqueline Wiles and Paula Moltzan.
Cory Thiesse/Korey Dropkin: Mixed doubles curling
The United States has its third medal ever in Olympic curling.
Mixed doubles team of Corey Thiesse and Korey Dropkin advanced to the gold medal game against Sweden, but fell 6-5 to Swedish siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wranaa. But with the win Thiesse became the first American woman ever to win an Olympic curling medal, as Team USA’s previous two medals came in men’s curling.
Ashley Farquharson: Women’s luge
Ashley Farquharson made Team USA luge history, winning a shocking bronze medal in the women’s luge singles competition. Her bronze medal comes 12 years after Erin Hamlin took bronze at Sochi in the 2014 Winter Olympics, becoming Team USA’s first-ever luge medalist.
Chris Mazder took silver in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Germany’s Julia Taubitz took gold, and Latvia’s Elina Bota — who also made history as the first woman from her country to take a singles luge medal — took silver.
Ryan Cochran-Siegle: Men’s Super-G
For the second consecutive Winter Olympics, Ryan Cochran-Siegle has a silver medal in the Super-G.
Cochran-Siegle was the third skier down the course Wednesday and he set the early time to beat with a 1:25.45. Only Franjo von Allmen topped his effort, as the Swiss skier gave his nation their first gold medal in men’s Super-G.
But Cochran-Siegle’s time was good enough to take silver, and add not just to his own legacy, but his family’s. His mother, Barbara Ann Cochran, took gold in the women’s slalom at the 1972 Winter Olympics.
Exactly 54 years ago today.
Liz Lemley/Jaelin Kauf: Women’s moguls
Team USA topped the podium in women’s moguls at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Jaelin Kauf secured her second consecutive silver medal after taking second in the 2022 Beijing Games, while Liz Lemely took gold in her Olympic debut.
Jordan Stolz: Men’s speedskating 1,000-meter
Jordan Stolz entered the 2026 Winter Olympics on an incredible streak.
That continued in his first event.
Stolz arrived in Milan having won the last 14 1,000-meter races on the World Cup-level. As luck would have it, the 1,000-meter race was the first on his schedule, and he took gold in his Milano Cortina debut.
Madison Chock/Evan Bates: Ice dance
Team USA’s pair of Madison Chock and Evan Bates have been aiming for an individual Olympic medal.
Now they have it, but not the one they were aiming for.
After helping Team USA win gold in the Team event, Chock and Bates hoped to deliver the performance they needed in the free dance to take a gold of their own. However, while they delivered a strong performance skating to “Paint It, Black” by Ramin Djawadi, the duo entered the free dance trailing the French pairing of Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron by just 0.46 points.
Their free dance put them into the lead, but the performance from Fournier Beaudry and Cizeron was enough for them to take gold, leaving Chock and Bates to settle for silver.
Jessie Diggins: Women’s cross-country 10-km freestyle
Jessie Diggins added to her status as a living legend at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
She made history eight years ago along with teammate Kikkan Randall, when the pair won Team USA’s first-ever cross-country skiing gold medals with a team sprint victory at the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang. But she secured her fourth Olympic medal in Milan, skiing through a bruised rib to claim bronze in the 10-kilometer freestyle.
Chloe Kim: Women’s halfpipe
Chloe Kim’s bid for Olympic history fell just short, as the Team USA snowboarder settled for silver in the women’s halfpipe. Had she won gold, Kim would have become the first snowboarder in Olympic history to win three consecutive Olympic titles.
Liz Lemley/Jaelin Kauf: Women’s dual moguls
The American pair of Liz Lemley and Jaelin Kauf could not repeat the one-two from women’s moguls earlier in the games, but did bring home two more medals for Team USA as Kauf took silver, and Lemley captured bronze.
Jordan Stolz: Men’s speedskating 500-meter
Jordan Stolz entered the 2026 Winter Olympics on an incredible streak.
That continues as he has a pair of golds already to show for his work in Italy. After winning the 1000-meter, he took gold in the 1,000-meter on Valentine’s Day.
Elana Meyers Taylor/Kaillie Humphries: Women’s monobob
Team USA has secured a pair of medals in women’s monobob.
Kaillie Humphries took bronze, while Elana Meyers Taylor secured her elusive gold medal. Meyers Taylor entered the 2026 Winter Olympics with five Olympic medals under her belt — three silvers and a pair of bronze medals — but the 41-year-old now has gold next to her name.
Team USA: Speedskating team pursuit
The United States team of Ethan Cepuran, Casey Dawson, Emery Lehman, Conor McDermott-Mostowy, and Jordan Stolz took silver in the men’s team pursuit.
Mac Forehand: Freestyle skiing, men’s big air
Team USA’s Mac Forehand took silver in the men’s big air.
Ben Ogden/Gus Schumacher: Cross-country men’s team sprint
Ben Ogden has secured his second medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, another silver. The cross-country skier from Vermont finished second with partner Gus Schumacher in the team sprint finals, crossing the line with a time of 18:30.3, just behind the gold medalist from Norway, who finished with a time of 18:28.9.
Mikaela Shiffrin: Women’s slalom
Mikaela Shiffrin is back on the top step of a podium at the Winter Olympics.
12 years after her first gold medal at the 2014 Winter Games, Shiffrin secured another gold in the women’s slalom. That makes a bit of history for Team USA, as she is now both the youngest and oldest woman to win gold for the United States in an alpine event. She won gold in 2014 at 18 years old, and her gold medal this week comes after her 30th birthday.
Jordan Stolz: Men’s speedskating 1,500 meter
Jordan Stolz’s bid for a third individual gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics came up short on Thursday, as he finished second in the 1,500-meter race. He’ll have one more shot at an individual gold this weekend in the mass start event
Team USA: Women’s hockey
Team USA secured gold in a dramatic overtime win over Canada. Captain Hilary Knight scored a goal late in regulation to force the extra frame, and then Megan Keller scored in overtime for the win, and the gold.
Knight’s goal set a new all-time Team USA goal-scoring record, as it was her 15th goal in Olympic play.
Alysa Liu: Women’s figure skating
After finishing third in the short program, Alysa Liu completed her comeback with a gold in women’s figure skating. Liu’s free program was enough to finish ahead of the Japanese pair of Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai.
Alex Ferreira: Freestyle men’s halfpipe
Alex Ferreira finally has his Olympic gold medal.
Ferreira took silver in this event at the 2018 Winter Olympics, and bronze at the 2022 Beijing Games. But with a final run of 93.75 he was in position to secure that elusive gold medal, which he did when Canada’s Brendan Mackay delivered a 91.00 on the final run of the night to take bronze.
“I’m going to drink copious amounts of beer,” Ferreira said after the event.
Corinne Stoddard: Short track women’s 1,500
Milan has been tough for Corinne Stoddard.
But she will still lead with a medal.
Falls in several events earlier in the Winter Olympics left the Team USA speed skater frustrated and on the wrong end of abuse on social media. Stoddard shared this message on Instagram last week about what she has been going through at the 2026 Winter Olympics:
But she brought her games to a close with a bronze in the women’s 1,500 on Friday, a strong redemption performance from the Team USA skater.
