Prior to these events, Norway had accumulated three gold, one silver, and two bronze medals; however, after Tuesday's competitions, they significantly increased their tally to include six golds, two silvers, and four bronzes. This remarkable achievement solidifies their first place in the overall medal ranking, underscoring their dominance in winter sports.
