Olympic 2022 Medal Count: Final Tally, Winners from Day 1 Early Events

Norway did not waste any time establishing its dominance atop the 2022 Winter Olympics medal table.

The winter sports powerhouse captured two of the first few gold medals in Beijing in two sports they typically dominate: biathlon and cross-country skiing.

Norway's first gold came with some revenge, as it took back its title in the mixed 4x6 km biathlon relay. The Norwegians finished in front of France, who beat them four years ago in the event.

The first individual medal of the Olympics went to Norway's Therese Johaug in the women's cross-country skiathlon. Norway earned the most cross-country skiing medals in each of the last three Olympics.
