Here's where the U.S. is most likely to medal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics

While the United States has largely dominated the Summer Olympics — topping the overall medal table 19 times — the Winter Olympics are a slightly different story.

Norway is the all-time medal leader in winter competition, and at the 2022 Games in Beijing, the U.S. finished third in the medal count, behind first-place Norway and second-place Germany.

For the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games, here are the events in which Americans are most likely to take home some hardware.
