Norwegian athletes achieved another gold medal at the Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina, ensuring their lead in the overall medal standings, with just one day remaining in the competition. With 111 out of 116 medal sets distributed, Norway boasts a substantial advantage, holding seven more gold medals than their closest rivals. This demonstrates their dominant performance at this year's Winter Olympics.

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, Norway's most decorated Winter Olympian, added his sixth gold medal of these Olympics and the 11th of his career by winning the 50 km classical event in cross-country skiing. The Norwegian team has secured a total of 40 medals, comprising 18 golds, along with 11 silver and 11 bronze medals. This tally not only reinforces Norway's status in winter sports but also sets a new record for both gold medals and overall medal count at the Winter Games.

The United States follows Norway in second place with 11 golds, 12 silvers, and nine bronzes, while the Netherlands has climbed to third with ten golds, seven silvers, and three bronzes. Host country Italy has also won ten golds but lags behind in silver with only six, while they hold 14 bronze medals. The upcoming final day will determine if any late changes occur in the medal standings, but Norway's position appears unassailable.
