US EditionA Record-Setting Winter Olympics: 6 Golds and 15 Medals for the US in Women’s Events Set Marks
- On Saturday, the U.S. women's Olympic team in Milan Cortina recorded six golds and 15 medals overall, rising to 19 when including mixed events at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
- With a larger women's program at Milan Cortina, the 41 events expanded medal opportunities, helping more than 40 American women achieve unprecedented results.
- Led by wins from Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson, Elana Meyers Taylor, Alysa Liu, Elizabeth Lemley, and the U.S. women's hockey team secured medals, including four freestyle skiing medals and the 11th gold in mixed-team aerials.
- The result establishes a historic benchmark as the women's 15 medals would top all U.S. medals from 1924–1998, with Kaila Kuhn's mixed team aerials gold marking Team USA's 11th at these Olympics.
- Program leaders and medalists noted that Thiesse said the success will inspire future generations, including 2030 and 2034 teams, through role models and growing women's programs, Sullivan said.
