While the United States isn't leading in the medal count, Team USA is looking golden at this year's Winter Olympic Games.
Team USA has won seven medals so far and two of them are gold. The American team is tied for third place with Japan for total medals.
Breezy Johnson won gold in women's downhill skiing on Sunday, becoming only the second American woman to accomplish the feat. It was the first Olympic medal of her career, and the first gold medal for Team USA at this year's Winter Games. She tearfully stood at the podium to accept her gold, afterwards saying, "it doesn’t feel real yet."
Team USA's second medal came on Sunday after a nail-biting figure skating team event. Ilia Manlin, also known as the "Quad god" stepped onto the ice with the gold medal hinging on his performance. The breakout star delivered, earning Team USA enough points to defeat Japan.
Norway currently leads in the gold count, with six gold medals for the winter sports powerhouse. They are tied with the host nation, Italy, for 11 total medals so far.

Meh… don’t care.
How many of the winners claim to be proud of America, or do they disown it?
Wtf cares?
Actually most of them keep their mouths shut about politics. A few have been vocal of their pride representing the US. The leftidiots are outliers, but of course the media focuses on them.
We are not a winter sport people..most of us live outside the snow belt.
Then scroll past. No one asked you to look.
Has the bi-athlon happened yet? (I think it was only two—guns and skiis)
Keep thinking about Kay Lenz
The US traditionally has not been a power in the Winter Olympics.
Story made me think of this girl: Kamila Valeryevna Valieva
Most all of them have been wonderful It is such a shame that people paint them all bad because of a few.
I enjoy them and they are far less offensive and nauseating as the NFL and Super Bowel.
She was a beautiful and strong skater. She was wronged.
Wonder how many they’d have if Russia was allowed to compete.
Then scroll past. No one asked you to look.
****************************************
Sure… I’ll leave it to you to celebrate our winter Olympians:
😄
> We are not a winter sport people... <
Plus they never show any interesting sports.
No snowball fights.
No cheese rolling.
Etc.
Pro American Olympians or anti America olympian ingrates.
The Russians were well represented. The US has more than a few top skaters of Russian stock. So does Canada, and other countries. Many of the coaches in events are Russians which I am sure they sought other places to conduct their area of expertise for obvious reasons.
There are actually a few Russians participating as independent contestants but are not able to compete under a flag. Not many though.
