Finland concluded the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics with a total of six medals, comprised of five bronze and one silver. Despite this tally, Finland found itself near the bottom of the overall medal table, trailing even nations like Spain and Brazil, both of which claimed gold medals in their respective events. Brazil's Lucas Pinheiro Braathen captured the country's only medal and its first Olympic gold in men's giant slalom, demonstrating that even countries with fewer overall medals can outperform in key moments.

Spain, meanwhile, secured three medals in cross-country skiing, including a gold in the men's sprint and two bronzes in the women's sprint and mixed relay. The impressive performances by these countries highlight the competitive nature of the Games, where a few standout achievements can elevate a nation's standing dramatically, despite a lower overall medal count. In contrast, Norway dominated the event with a staggering 41 medals, including 18 golds, showcasing their supremacy in winter sports and raising questions about Finland's performance and strategies going forward.

The United States and the Netherlands also performed well, each amassing 32 medals across various events, particularly excelling in speed skating. Finland's struggle to compete at higher levels may prompt discussions about investment in winter sports and training systems to improve future performances as they aim for a more prominent position in upcoming Olympic competitions. This year's results serve as a reminder of the unpredictability of the Olympics, where every medal counts significantly toward a nation's identity in international sports.
