The Rise of Switzerland

Host Nation Success

Italy is currently leading in the Total Medal Count. Thanks to Francesca Lollobrigida’s gold in Speed Skating and several podium finishes in Alpine Skiing, the “Azzurri” are off to their best start in Winter Olympic history.

The Return of NHL Stars

One of the biggest stories of Milano Cortina 2026 is the return of NHL players to the Men’s Ice Hockey tournament. This has shifted the medal predictions significantly, with Canada, USA, and Sweden looking like the favorites for the podium.

New Events in 2026

This year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) introduced Ski Mountaineering (Skimo). This grueling sport has already seen its first set of medals, with European nations currently dominating the discipline.

The Battle for Dominance

While the overall medal table tells one story, the individual performances of Team USA and Norway are where the real drama lies. Here is how the two giants are performing as of February 10, 2026.

Team USA: The “Quad God” and Ice Dominance

Team USA has had a thrilling start, particularly in figure skating and alpine events.

Figure Skating Glory

The highlight so far has been Ilia Malinin, known as the “Quad God.” Malinin led the U.S. to a Gold Medal in the Figure Skating Team Event, narrowly beating Japan. His free skate included five quadruple jumps, proving he is the man to beat in the upcoming individual events.

Alpine Skiing Breakthrough

Breezy Johnson secured Team USA’s first individual medal of the Games—a spectacular Gold in the Women’s Downhill. The victory was emotional, especially following the injury of her teammate Lindsey Vonn during the same event.

Hockey & Curling Momentum

The U.S. Women’s Hockey team is currently undefeated (3-0), recently shutting out Switzerland 5-0.

In a historic first, the Mixed Doubles Curling team (Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse) has advanced to the Gold medal match after an epic win over Italy.

Team Norway: The Winter Superpower

Norway continues to prove why they are the most successful nation in Winter Olympic history, currently leading the gold medal count.

Cross-Country King

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo has already secured his first Gold of these games in the Men’s Skiathlon. This is his 6th career Olympic gold, and he is favored to win several more in the sprint events.

Speed Skating Excellence

Sander Eitrem set a new Olympic Record in the Men’s 5,000m speed skating event to grab Gold, further cementing Norway’s lead.

Ski Jumping Success

Anna Odine Strøm delivered a massive 101m jump to take Gold in the Women’s Normal Hill, adding to Norway’s diverse medal collection.

Biathlon Prowess

Despite the retirement of some legends, Norway’s depth in Biathlon remains “terrifying” for other nations, with several podium finishes already under their belt.
