Norway vs Sweden: 100 Years of Winter Olympics 🇳🇴🇸🇪
Norway and Sweden at the Winter Olympics: all Olympic medals won so far, 1924-2026.
Norway: 447 medals (166 gold) at the Winter Olympics · first medal 1924 · first gold 1924 · Milan-Cortina 2026: 41 medals (18 gold)
Sweden: 195 medals (73 gold) at the Winter Olympics · first medal 1924 · first gold 1924 · Milan-Cortina 2026: 18 medals (8 gold)
What the number means: 500 medals = 500 times an athlete or team from that country finished in the top 3 of an Olympic event, all Games added up.
Why it matters: Olympic medals depend on money for sport, coaching and facilities, a country's size, and traditions - some countries win almost everything in one sport.
Terms used:
- Olympic medal = a top-3 finish in one event: gold (1st), silver (2nd), bronze (3rd). A team event counts as ONE medal for the country, however many athletes are in the team.
- All medals so far = every medal the country has won at the Games up to that year, added up.
- Re-allocated medals = medals taken back after a doping case and given to the next athletes; all counts here are after these changes.
Data: Olympedia - the OlyMADMen Olympic database (olympedia.org), medal winners of every event of every Summer (1896-2024) and Winter (1924-2026) Olympic Games, after all re-allocations of stripped medals; art competitions not counted; checked against the official IOC medal tables (olympics.com).
