The United States competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from February 9 to 25, 2018.
The United States had its least successful showing at a Winter Olympics since the 1998 Nagano Games, ranking fourth in both the gold and total medal count with 9 and 23 medals, respectively.[3] There were some notable successes for the team. Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall won the cross-country skiing women's team sprint event to clinch the United States' first-ever Olympic gold medal in cross-country skiing.[4] Skip John Shuster led his team to the United States' first-ever gold medal in curling, winning the men's curling over Sweden.[5] The United States women's national ice hockey team won the gold in the women's ice hockey tournament for the first time since the inauguration of the sport in 1998 over the four-time defending gold medalist Canada in an overtime penalty shootout.[6]
The United States earned medals in at least one event in 11 different sports, the most of any nation. These Games also included the 100th Winter Olympic gold medal for the Americans, won by Shaun White.[7]
