Norway topped the medal table at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Norwegian athletes won 16 gold medals, 8 silver medals, and 13 bronze medals, giving the country 37 medals overall—the highest totals in both gold and overall medals.
The Beijing Games were held from February 4 to 20, 2022, although some competitions began earlier. Norway’s strength was especially visible in biathlon and cross-country skiing, where athletes such as Johannes Thingnes Bø, Marte Olsbu Røiseland, and Alexander Bolshunov collected multiple medals.
A common mix-up is confusing the overall medal leader with the host nation’s performance. China won 9 gold medals and 15 medals overall, while the United States won 8 gold medals and 25 medals overall. Olympic medal tables are normally ranked first by gold medals, then silver and bronze—not by total medals alone. Norway led under either common interpretation at Beijing 2022.
