Here is a look at where the medal count stands for Team USA and other nations as the competition heats up at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Sturla Holm Laegreid’s Winter Olympics celebration took a shocking turn on Tuesday. The Norwegian, fresh off winning bronze in the 20km individual biathlon race at Milan Cortina, stunned fans by confessing on live TV that he had cheated on his girlfriend.

It’s hard for the Winter Olympic Games to compete with the Summer Games. Dozens of skiing and skating variations can’t really compare to the transparent variety of the summer events, even if it’s incredibly rad to send athletes down an ice tube at seventy miles per hour and call the sport "Skeleton."

Ilia Malinin became the first person in 50 years to legally land a backflip at the Winter Olympics, doing it in the figure skating team event.

The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics continue on Tuesday, February 10, with another full day of action across the slopes and ice in Italy, with the United States competing in several high-stakes events.

While the United States isn't leading in the medal count, Team USA is looking golden at this year's Winter Olympic Games

Days after the Games officially opened, the 2026 Winter Olympics have already created a number of indelible images.

On Tuesday at the Winter Olympics, the U.S. women's hockey team faces rival Canada, and Ilia Malinin takes the ice.

In mixed doubles curling, Team USA's Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse lost to Sweden, 6-5, in the gold medal match and will take home silver. Plus, the U.S. women's hockey team faces rivals Canada in a Group A preliminary matchup, and catch Ilia Malinin and Max Naumov in the men's singles figure skating short program.

This type of February “warmth” for Cortina is made at least three times more likely due to climate change, Winkley said. In the 70 years since Cortina first held the Winter Games, February temperatures there have climbed 6.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3.6 degrees Celsius), he added.
