The world will compete for glory at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.
Norway has led the medal table for three consecutive Winter Olympics, dating back to 2014. The United States last led the medal table at the event in 1932, which is the lone cycle the Americans accomplished the feat.

Norway led the medal table with 37 total medals and 16 gold medals at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, ahead of Germany's 27 medals and the U.S.'s 25 medals. Norway also had 39 total medals in 2018 and 27 in 2014.
Who will lead the medal count in 2026? Here's the full list of each country competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics:
How many countries are in 2026 Winter Olympics?
There are 93 countries participating at the 2026 Winter Olympics, including more than 3,500 athletes, according to the Olympics' official website. They'll be competing for a very limited number of honors, with 195 total medals across 16 Olympic disciplines.
It's worth nothing that numerous athletes from Russia and Belarus will compete in the Games as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN) since the two countries are banned from the International Olympic Committee due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Those athletes will not represent their country, but rather themselves.
