The medals are starting to come in. Thirteen events of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games have already delivered their verdict at the end of Sunday. Norway lives up to its reputation since she has already been on the podium six times (three gold medals, one silver, two bronze) in three different sports (speed skating, ski jumping, cross-country skiing).
The United States boasts two gold medals, while Italy made a perfect start to its Games with nine medals. including one gold medal, won by skater Francesca Lollobrigida in the 3.000 meters. Ten nations have won a title : the three previously mentioned, as well as Austria, Germany, Japan, Czech Republic, France (thanks to its quartet of biathletes in the mixed relay), Sweden and Switzerland – and not just any title, but that of the men's downhill with Franjo von Allmen.
Five other nations appear on the medal table, but without gold: South Korea, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Canada, and China. In 2022, at the conclusion of the Games, 29 countries had their names on the list. Five medal events will take place on Monday.
