Every Medal Team USA Won at the Beijing Winter Olympics
With eight gold medals, Team USA may have fell one gold medal short of its PyeongChang tally, but it improved its overall count by two with a total of 25 medals.
For the third straight Winter Games, the United States finished fourth in the gold medal count, while finishing fifth in the overall count behind Norway, ROC, Germany and Canada. The U.S. arrived in Beijing with the largest delegation at the 24th Winter Games with 224 athletes, the country's second-largest delegation in its Winter Olympic history.
Snowboarder Julia Marino earned Team USA's first medal in Beijing with her silver medal in women's slopestyle to get the U.S. on the board. On the last day of the Beijing Games, Jessie Diggins earned Team USA's final medal, becoming the first American to medal in an Olympic long-distance cross-country skiing race—just a day after suffering from food poisoning.
Also on the final day, bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor became the most decorated Black athlete in Winter Olympics history with her fifth medal.
Meanwhile, Team USA stars Shaun White, who announced his retirement ahead of his fourth-place finish in snowboarding halfpipe, and Mikaela Shiffrin failed to medal in their respective events
Five days after the opening ceremony, Team USA's gold medal drought came to an end when Lindsey Jacobellis won the women's snowboard cross for the first time in her five Olympic attempts.
Chloe Kim and Nathan Chen followed up within 24 hours, with Kim winning her second consecutive gold in the women's snowboard halfpipe and Chen earning redemption with his gold in men's figure skating after his infamous tumble in PyeongChang four years ago.
