Norway (population: 5.7m) beats US (342m) to top Winter Olympics medal table

Norway has once again dominated the Winter Olympics, finishing at the top of the medal table with a record 18 gold medals and a total of 41 medals. This achievement is particularly notable given Norway's small population of 5.7 million, compared to the United States' 342 million. The US placed second with 12 golds and 33 total medals, while other countries like Great Britain and Australia also set new team records.
