The 2022 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIV Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event held in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February. A total of 2,871 athletes from 91 nations participated in 109 events in seven sports across 15 disciplines.[1][2]
Overall 29 nations received at least one medal, and 23 of them won at least one gold medal. Athletes from Norway won the most medals overall, with 37, and the most gold medals, with 16. The latter record was the highest gold medal tally at a single Winter Games.[3] Host nation China won nine gold medals surpassing its gold medal tally of five during the 2010 winter edition.[4] Athletes from that nation also won 15 medals overall, which eclipsed its record of 11 at both the 2006 and 2010 winter editions.[5]
The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation won, where a nation is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee (NOC). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.
On 29 January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified Kamila Valieva for four years retroactive to 25 December 2021 for an anti-doping rule violation.[13] On 30 January 2024, the ISU re-allocated medals in the figure skating team event, upgrading the United States to gold and Japan to silver while downgrading the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) to bronze.[14]
