Updated 2026 Winter Olympics Medal Table After Day 3: Norway & Switzerland Tied at 3 Golds Each, Italy Dominates Total Medals

2026 Winter Olympics Medal Table

Here is the updated 2026 Winter Olympics Medal Table. The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina are heating up early, and after a blockbuster Day 3 (February 9). Switzerland surged on Monday with two key golds. Mathilde Gremaud defending her women’s freeski slopestyle title in a razor-close battle (edging China’s Eileen Gu by just 0.38 points) and a strong performance in the men’s Alpine skiing team combined. This pushed them into a tie with perennial powerhouse Norway at 3 gold medals apiece. Norway holds the edge in total medals (6 vs. Switzerland’s 4) thanks to a balanced haul, but the gold race is neck-and-neck.

Meanwhile, host nation Italy continues to shine on home snow and ice, leading the overall medal count with 9 total medals (1 gold, 2 silver, 6 bronze). Their bronze dominance in early events like luge, ski jumping, and others has them well ahead in the totals race, giving the home crowd plenty to cheer about.

The United States remains steady in third for golds with 2, though no new hardware was added on Day 3 for Team USA in the featured events.

Key Notes:

  • Rankings follow the standard Olympic tiebreaker: most golds first, then silvers, then bronzes.
  • Switzerland’s Day 3 surge (slopestyle + team combined) created the exciting gold tie with Norway, setting up a thrilling battle ahead.
  • Italy’s bronze rush has them comfortably atop the total medals leaderboard—perfect for building national excitement.
  • Other nations like Japan (strong in snowboarding/figure skating potential) and the Netherlands (speed skating dominance, including Jutta Leerdam’s Olympic record in women’s 1000m) are poised for moves.
  • Always check Olympics.com for real-time updates, as late finals (e.g., any wrapping luge or ski jumping) could shift things slightly.
