US EditionUS wins its record 11th gold medal at the Winter Olympics
Team USA surpassed its previous Winter Olympics gold record from 2002 with 11 golds, led by a top score of 325.35 in freestyle skiing mixed team aerials.
- At the Milan Cortina 2026 on Saturday, the U.S. Olympic team won its 11th gold medal as Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran, and Chris Lillis took the mixed aerials title.
- A deeper U.S. roster helped, as Connor Curran, first-time Olympian noted among Team USA depth, competed this year with 38 more medal events than in 2002.
- Posting a combined 325.35, the trio secured gold as Curran’s high scores included 120.36 and Lillis’s decisive 117.19 back double full-full-full.
- The result raised Team USA’s overall medal haul to 30, with Norway earlier reaching 17 golds, and Team USA could still add more in Sunday’s men's hockey against Canada.
- Chris Lillis now stands as back-to-back mixed aerials champion and returning 2022 team member, while Connor Curran was a late addition after Quinn Dehlinger’s knee injury, defending U.S. strength in mixed aerials.
