List of 2018 Winter Olympics medal winners explained

The 2018 Winter Olympics was held in Pyeongchang County, South Korea, between 9–25 February 2018.[1] The games featured 102 events in 15 sports, making it the first Winter Olympics to surpass 100 medal events. Four new disciplines in existing sports were introduced to the Winter Olympic programme in Pyeongchang, including big air snowboarding, mixed doubles curling, mass start speed skating, and mixed team alpine skiing.[2] [1]

The Netherlands achieved a podium sweep in speed skating, in the women's 3,000 metres.[3] Norway achieved a podium sweep in cross-country skiing, in the men's 30 km skiathlon.[4] Germany achieved a podium sweep in nordic combined, in the individual large hill/10 km.[5]

Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won five medals (two gold, one silver, and two bronze), the most of any athlete at the 2018 games.[6] With 15 total Olympic medals, she also became the most decorated athlete in Winter Olympics history.[7] Swedish cross-country skier Charlotte Kalla finished with four medals (one gold, three silver), as did her compatriot and fellow cross-country skier Stina Nilsson (one gold, two silvers, one bronze) and Russian cross-country skier Alexander Bolshunov (three silver, one bronze) who was competing for the Olympic Athletes from Russia.[8] Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klæbo and French biathlete Martin Fourcade tied for the most gold medals, with three each.[9] Ester Ledecká of the Czech Republic became the first female Winter Olympian to achieve a gold medal in two separate sports at a single Games, winning in both alpine skiing and snowboarding.[10]
