Team USA is officially on the board — and with a gold medal.
The U.S. won its first medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics Sunday and there are still several medal events to go.
2026 Winter Olympics Medal Count
While the U.S. sits behind several countries when it comes to medal counts in these Games so far, the first medal came during a shocking women’s downhill event in alpine skiing.
Breezy Johnson scored gold with an incredible run, but her victory followed a harrowing crash that saw competitor and skiing legend Lindsey Vonn airlifted off the course.
The moment was something Johnson knew all too well.
Four years ago, a crash in Cortina kept Johnson from competing at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Now, she has conquered the course for Olympic gold and become only the second American woman to win gold in the event — a title that only she and Vonn now hold.
The 30-year-old from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, won with a time of 1:36.10.
Norway also upped its medal count Sunday, as Johannes Høsflot Klæbo claimed his sixth career Olympic gold medal in the men’s cross-country skiing 10 km + 10km skiathlon event.
