The 11th gold breaks the record set at the last Olympics on American soil, in Salt Lake City in 2022, which has long been a turning point for a winter sports program that had struggled for decades prior.

The victory brought the United States to 30 total medals for the Olympics. That’s second behind Norway, which, a day earlier, won its 17th gold medal, setting a Winter Games record.
