The 2026 Winter Olympics have officially come and gone, and it will once again be another four years before our favorite alpine skiers, bobsledders, hockey players and more return to the mountain/course/rink for the next bout of international competition. Thankfully, though, this year's installment—hosted in joint fashion between the Italian city of Milan and the mountainous region of Cortina d'Ampezzo—satisfied viewers with enough action and heartbreak to last us until 2030.

A quick refresher on the happenings of the last two weeks, from a Team USA perspective:

Both the U.S. men's and women's hockey teams won gold in overtime games vs. Canada. Alpine skier Mikayla Shiffrin ended her own Olympic nightmare, days after 41-year-old Lindsey Vonn's comeback attempt ended in a nightmare of a different kind. Twenty-year-old figure skater Alysa Liu took the top spot on the podium in the women's individual figure skating event, ending a 20-year-medal drought for the U.S., while "Quad God" Ilia Malinin carried Team USA to another gold in the team program. Snowboarder Chloe Kim took home the silver, skier Breezy Johnson got a medal and an engagement ring, and bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor finally won her first gold.

Although Norway, the most successful country in Winter Olympics history, dominated the competition with 18 gold medals and 41 total medals overall, the U.S. still walked away with the second-most tallies in both of those same categories: 12 gold medals and 33 medals overall.

Below, let's take a look at the final medal counts for each country:
