Winter Olympics medal table 2026: Which country won the most in Milano Cortina? How many medals did Team GB win?

Canada's double-touch curling scandal, alleged penis injections and Novak Djokovic's must-watch reaction to Ilia Malinin's incredible ice-skating backflip - just a handful of highlights from the recently-concluded 2026 Winter Olympics games in Milano-Cortina.

The world's finest winter athletes all descended onto the Italian peninsula for two weeks of unforgettable action, which for Great Britain marked a new zenith at the quadrennial championships thanks to their respectable haul of five medals.

With three golds, one bronze and one silver in their suitcases, the Brits headed home on the back of their most successful Winter Olympics to date, one that could have been even better had GB not suffered another few agonising near-misses in the freezing conditions.

To the surprise of no-one, the all-conquering Norway once again led the pack in terms of top-three finishes, but even they managed to write a new chapter of Winter Olympics history in the 116-event tournament.

As preparations commence for the 2030 Games in the French Alps, Sports Mole provides a comprehensive 2026 Winter Olympics medal table.
