The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and the medals are starting to rack up. Currently, the United States has won eight medals, five gold, two silver, and one bronze, which ties them with Germany, and puts them three behind the leading Norway.

The United States has captured two gold medals in snowboarding, two in speed skating, and one in alpine skiing. The two silver medals were won in snowboarding, and the lone bronze medal was awarded to Toby Dawson in freestyle skiing.
