The most successful nations in the history of the Winter Olympics are Germany, Russia and Norway. Germany remains the top all-time winner of medals – despite having not even participated in the beginnings of the games, with German athletes absent from the 1924 event at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix. Since then, Germany’s tally – including the medals of both East and West Germany, as well as the “United Team” of 1956, 1960, and 1964, before the nation’s reunification – has reached an impressive 377. At the previous games in 2014, Russia topped the table on home turf with 29 medals, 11 of which were gold, strengthening their position as the nation with the second most golds of all time, and the third highest total tally of medals. Norway has actually won two more medals than Russia at the Winter Olympics, at time of writing, with an all-time total of 329.

Norway are the most successful country to compete at the Winter Olympics. Norway is the outright leader when it comes to most gold medals won and total medals won across 23 Games. For gold medals won, Norway are the outright leader with 132, while the US are the only other nation to have reached triple figures – but are still 27 behind the Norwegians. When taking silver and bronze into account as well, the USA find themselves even further behind – 68 in fact.
