Germany will top the PyeongChang Olympic medal standings if results repeat from this season’s winter sports world championships.
Germans have easily won the most medals (34) and golds (18) in Olympic events across this season’s world championships. A total of 100 of the 102 Olympic events (or their equivalents) have had their world championships contested already this season.
While men’s hockey and mixed doubles curling worlds are still to take place, Germany’s lead is insurmountable.
