It's official. Norway is really good at the Winter Olympics.
With a population of just over five million people, the European country has continued to punch above its weight at Beijing 2022, finishing way above the rest in the medal table. Norway tallied the most gold medals, 16, and the highest total number of medals, 37, of all the delegations competing this month.
"And then they will develop their potential as humans and citizens."Meanwhile, Team China claimed nine golds and a total of 15 medals, delivering its best ever result at a Winter Olympics -- and ranking above the United States.
"New Zealand's two gold medals were the country's first at a Winter Olympics. Australia's four medals were one more than the previous record of three, achieved at each of the last three Winter Games.""Belgium equaled its record of two Winter Olympic medals which was previously achieved at St. Moritz 1948," added Gleave.
