Team USA placed second in the final medal standings behind Norway, which led with 41 medals including a Winter Games–record 18 golds, while Italy and Germany finished third and fourth.
Close finishes, including a 0.6-second gap, highlighted how Ben Ogden's silver ended a medal drought for the U.S. men's cross-country ski team, and the U.S. women's hockey team won its third gold in overtime, highlighted by Hilary Knight's equalizer and Megan Keller's winner.
