At the conclusion of Day 12 competition, here are some notes:
- Ukraine (UKR): Ukraine won their first medal of these Olympics, silver in freestyle skiing men’s aerials. This is the country's second all-time silver and ninth all-time medal at the Winter Games.
- China (CHN): In winning their 13th medal of these Games, host China continues to have their most successful Winter Olympics– 7 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze – improving on the 12 medals won through Feb. 15. Their previous best was 11 in 2010 and 2006.
- With their 7th gold medal in freestyle skiing men’s aerials, China has improved their previous best of six gold medals won at one Olympic Winter Games
- Norway (NOR): Norway continues to sit atop the medal chart for total medals won at these Games - 28 (13 gold, 7 silver, 8 bronze), Norway’s best Games was 2018 PyeongChang where they won 39 medals (14 gold, 14 silver, 11 bronze)
With 69 medals left up for grabs, Team USA is in fourth place. It's the same spot as its solid fourth-place finish in 2018, when its 23 medals trailed Norway (39), Germany (31), and Canada (29). Nineteen is the number for 2022, so matching the total is very much in play.
Team USA is chasing its medal-best standard of 34 overall with 10 golds on home turf in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
